Finlandia: cosa sapere prima di partire
L’essenziale
- Finland restricts non-essential travel by Russian citizens; passport and visa exceptions require individual checking.
- Land border crossings with Russia remain closed until further notice.
Ingresso e visti
Finland follows Schengen short-stay rules: visa-exempt visitors share a 90-day allowance in any 180 days across the area. EES biometric registration takes place at external borders; it is not an online pre-arrival application. ETIAS is not operating; official diplomatic updates expect 2027, with no fixed launch date.
Validità del passaporto: Non-EU short-stay visitors: issued within the previous 10 years and valid at least 3 months after planned Schengen departure.
Alla frontiera possono chiedere
- Carry evidence of accommodation, onward travel and funds; allow time for external border checks.
- Russian non-biometric passports face restrictions from June 2026, with a transition through December 2026 for specified earlier visas or permits. Check the exact exemption with Finnish authorities.
