Ålandinseln: was man vor der Reise wissen sollte
Das Wichtigste
- Finnish entry rules apply; check Russian-nationality restrictions and your ferry operator’s document rules.
- Carry cash before travelling to smaller islands: ATMs are concentrated in a few centres.
Einreise und Visa
Åland is part of Finland; Finnish Schengen entry requirements apply. A ferry booking does not replace a passport or visa. Visa-exempt British visitors share the Schengen 90/180 allowance. Finland restricts non-essential travel by Russian citizens; verify exemptions before booking. Åland is outside the EU VAT area.
Gültigkeit des Reisepasses: Non-EU short-stay visitors: issued within the previous 10 years and valid at least 3 months after planned Schengen departure.
An der Grenze kann verlangt werden
- Carry evidence of accommodation, onward travel and funds; allow time for external border checks.
