Finland is part of the Schengen Area and uses the euro. Most foreign visitors need to apply for a Schengen visa in advance. Applications can be submitted to the Finnish Embassy or Consulate in your country, or at a visa application center. Required documents typically include your passport, completed application form, photos, travel itinerary and accommodation proof, proof of employment or enrollment, financial statements, and travel medical insurance (with coverage of no less than 30,000 euros). For stays of up to 90 days, you can apply for either a single- or multiple-entry visa. It’s recommended to apply at least one month in advance.
If you are carrying cash equivalent to more than 10,000 euros when entering Finland, you must declare it. There are duty-free limits for alcohol and tobacco—please follow the regulations accordingly.
