Visiting Finland usually requires a Finland visa. As a Schengen Area member, a Finnish visa opens doors to Finland and other nations in the Schengen Area. Traveriya is here to help with your Finland visa application, ensuring a smooth process.
Finland's Visa Categories (Finland Visa Types)
Finland, as a Schengen Area member, mainly issues the Schengen Visa (Type C) for short trips (up to 90 days within any 180-day period). Visa types are determined by the reason for travel:
- Finland Tourist Visa: For leisure, sightseeing, exploring nature, or visiting friends and family.
- Finland Business Visa: For professionals attending conferences, engaging in meetings, or exploring commercial opportunities.
Standard Documents for Finland Visa Applications
Traveriya will provide a precise, personalized checklist. Generally, you’ll need:
