Finland visa requirements by nationality
Whether you need a visa for Finland depends on the passport you hold. Find your passport in the table below for the exact rule, the stay length, the passport validity required, and any arrival registration you have to complete separately.
Finland is one of the 29 countries in the Schengen Area. A short-stay visa issued by any member state normally covers entry, and the days you spend here count towards the 90 in any 180 allowed across the whole area rather than a separate national limit.

Good to know about Finland
The 180 day window is rolling, not a calendar year. Time spent in any other Schengen country, including a stopover, comes out of the same 90 days, so two short trips to different member states can still take you over.
Arriving from another Schengen country normally means no second passport check, because the border you cross into the area is the one that counts. Member states can reintroduce checks at internal borders for a period, so carry your passport even on a flight inside the area.
