Unfortunately, it is impossible to get an entry visa to Finland on the border. To enter the country you need a valid Schengen visa, which is issued in advance at the Finnish consulate. The cost of the consular fee is 45 EUR.

We advise those who have not been in the country to make an approximate route. To familiarize with all places of stay, it is necessary to take care of a lodging at points of a route. It is worth noting that booking hotels on the route in advance with reliable tour operators, you will get a much lower price than what is in the hotel "from the counter", the difference is from 50 to 150%.

On the border may wonder where you are planning live during your stay in Finland. If you can not answer this question, then you are not allowed to enter the country of Suomi.

To apply for a visa it is not necessary to provide any documents confirming the solvency, in the questionnaire it is sufficient to indicate the place and address where you work.
