Travel Reference
In-Depth Information
Before leaving home, get in touch with your national support organisation - preferably
the 'travel officer' if there is one.
Visas
A valid passport or EU identity card is required to enter Finland. Most Western nationals
don't need a tourist visa for stays of less than three months. South Africans, Indians and
Chinese, however, are among those who need a Schengen visa. For more information con-
tact the nearest Finnish embassy or consulate, or check the website
www.formin.finland.fi
.
Australian and New Zealand citizens aged between 18 and 30 can apply for a 12-month
working holiday visa under a reciprocal agreement - contact the Finnish embassy in your
home country.
