Permits and documents for entering the country
A foreigner entering Finland requires a passport or other travel document approved by Finland. Citizens of EU Member States need only an identity card to enter Finland.
The citizens of certain countries require a visa for Finland. A residence permit is
required for a longer stay in Finland. Permits to enter Finland should be applied for at the Finnish diplomatic representation in the applicant's home country or the diplomatic representation of a Schengen State representing Finland. Some residence permits can be applied for at a local police station.
