Applying for a Schengen Visa and application form

Foreign nationals who need a Schengen visa for travel to Finland are requested to apply for it at the nearest Finnish mission or at a mission of another Schengen country, which represents Finland in visa matters, not earlier than three (3) months prior to the planned visit.
The Schengen member states are Austria, Belgium, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Italy, Latvia, Liechtenstein, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden and Switzerland. 


Applying for a Schengen Visa

A Schengen visa for travel to Finland is applied for with a visa application form available from this website. Please follow the link below. The application form must be filled in and signed, and the application must be accompanied by one passport-sized photograph. Processing the visa application can start only after the visa fee has been paid.
The application form shall be submitted, together with a valid passport and the required additional documents, to the Finnish Embassy or Consulate at which the visa is applied for.
The required documentation includes e.g. proof of a paid travel insurance and flight tickets. Some Embassies or Consulates may require further documentation, and therefore the applicant should always check the requirements with the Embassy or Consulate in question.
Application forms sent to the Embassy or Consulate by e-mail or telefax will not be processed.
