普京放大招! 年俄羅斯世界盃球迷可免簽入境!

Russian President Vladimir Putin last Monday signed into law a visa free bill for foreigners visiting Russia for matches of the 2018 FIFA World Cup.

俄羅斯總統弗拉基米爾·普京於上週一簽署生效了一項法案，允許赴俄觀看2018年國際足聯世界盃賽事的外國人免簽入境。

The bill introduces the notion of "fan ID" and stipulates that holders of such an ID will be allowed to enter Russia without visa and stay for the duration of the World Cup, as well as for the period of ten days before and after the championship.

該法案引入了"球迷身份"的概念，規定具有此類身份的人羣將可獲准免簽入俄，且可在世界盃比賽期間及開賽前和賽事後十天內在俄停留。

At the Russian border before entering the country, the person with the fan ID would have to present an identification document, ticket for the match or a document verifying the purchase of a ticket.

在進入俄羅斯前，具有"球迷身份"的人應在該國邊境出示身份證明文件，球賽門票或購票證明文件。

The draft law was passed last month by both houses of the Russian parliament, namely the Federation Council and the State Duma.

該法律草案是由俄羅斯聯邦議會兩院，即聯邦委員會和國家杜馬上個月一致通過的。

Russia won the bid to host the 2018 World Cup over five years ago, while the country currently is busy with preparation work for the international football competition.

5年多以前，俄羅斯贏得了2018年世界盃的主辦權，該國目前正忙着籌備這一國際足球賽事。

Putin has announced in July of 2014 to introduce a specialized visa-free entry policy during the FIFA World Cup.

此前，普京總統已於2014年7月宣佈，在國際足聯世界盃舉辦期間，推出一項專門的免簽證入境政策。
