Your chances of doing it on that budget are slim to nil!

1. Tickets from United/Chelsea will not have names on them.

2. Even if they did, they wouldn't be checked at the turnstiles.

smallred · 11th May 2008, 12:19

has anybody got their tickets yet?

Im suprised by that. surely for them to be a valid Visa they will have to have the names on them?

Collections from Wednesday this week according to the TO.

Sultan · 11th May 2008, 20:41

Does anyone know if official tickets bought from United will suffice as entry requirement for non UK nationals - without needing a visa?

Sultan · 11th May 2008, 22:45

This is now testing even my patience.

We have made all the arrangements from Dubai, and the word is we need visas even though we are British passport holders, when flying from other destinations.

Have we even got enough time?

McLovin · 11th May 2008, 22:55

I thought tickets served as Visas. I didn't think it mattered from where you were flying into Russia from.

I hope you're correct.

I am hearing something different...

Frequently Asked Questions:

1. If I am staying in Moscow for more than 72 hours do I need a visa?
The Russian Embassy in London states that as long as you travel between 17th and 25th of May 2008 and have a valid match ticket the visa is waived.

2. If I travel through the 3rd country do I need a visa?
The Russian Embassy in London states that as long as you have a valid match ticket visa is waived. However, we suggest you check with your airline before you travel that they are aware of new Russian visa regulations.

3. If I am not a British citizen do I need a visa?
The Russian Embassy in London states that a non-visa regime is for British citizens only.

4. If the match ticket is not on my name do I need a visa?

That's great.

Can you get me a link for this info...

Many thanks.

I owe you a tagline of your choice.

No worries mate, don't mention it.

George the Giraffe · 12th May 2008, 05:39

Remember sultan people are going to be flying in from all over the shop, whether they live in Britain or not, due to a lack or direct flights etcetera. Looks like Mclovin has cleared it up anyway!

The problem being the Russians are not very efficient. Even their foreign embassies are not aware of the situation. Manux is flying from Dubai, and was told he'll need a visa.

If the airlines are not informed we could have scenes at various airports. It might be an idea for those travelling from non UK destinations to take a printed copy of the link provided (McLovin) by the Russian Embassy.

Robin · 14th May 2008, 17:06
