I want to visit Finland. I plan to stay there 2-3 days. I do not have invitations from the host country. What kind of visa is required for entry and what documents need to be provided at the border, if I'm traveling by car?

The visa is issued depending on the purpose of the trip - a tourist or business visa. You need documents that justify the purpose and conditions of the trip. The purpose of the trip can be proved, for example, with the help of an invitation letter, an employer's letter of apprenticeship, a confirmed reservation, made up in a free form by the trip plan.
At customs, as a rule, only a passport with a valid visa is asked. However, you can also ask for a route and medical insurance policy.
To enter Finland by car you need to have the following documents:
1. Rights to drive a car, not necessarily international.
2. All technical papers for the car (technical passport, etc.).
3. Insurance for the car ("green card").
4. Power of attorney for a car if you do not own the vehicle.
