Visa requirements
For most people there is no need for a visa to enter Finland. To check if you are able to enter Finland with no visa, go here. Note that even if you don't need a visa you will need at least 6 months remaining on your passport, before it expires. It's advisable to do that check now so you have plenty of time if you do need to renew your passport or request a letter of invitation.
