Good to know
- Finland is part of the Schengen area. A Schengen visa is an entry permit for a short, temporary visit of less than 90 days in any 180-day period.
- Whether you need a visa depends on your nationality — check the Finnish MFA's list of visa-required nationalities and the travel documents Finland accepts before you travel.
- Visa-required travellers apply in person at a Finnish mission, an authorised external visa-application centre, or a Schengen state's mission representing Finland. Within the EU, only six Finnish embassies process Schengen visas (Berlin, Dublin, Madrid, Nicosia, Sofia and Stockholm).
- Visa fees follow the price list for services provided by Finnish missions; the exact euro amount is not stated on this page.
- Visa-exempt non-EU visitors will additionally need an EU ETIAS travel authorisation once the EES/ETIAS system enters into operation (expected from late 2026).
