What you need to know before leaving

Finnish citizens can visit 77% of the world's countries without a visa. These include:

• USA and Canada – entry with electronic authorizations (ESTA/eTA) for a maximum stay of 90 days.
• Japan – 90-day visa-free travel for tourism and business.
• Singapore – up to 30 days without a visa, but a return ticket and proof of financial solvency (minimum SGD 100/day) are required.

From 2025, the European Travel Information and Authorization System (ETIAS) will be introduced for short-term trips to the Schengen area. Finnish citizens are required to obtain this permit to visit countries outside the EU/Schengen. In parallel, the Entry/Exit System (EES) automatically records entry and exit dates.

The Finns use the ESTA system for visa-free travel, but since 2025, biometric data requirements have been tightened. Travelers must update the information when changing their passport or civil status.
