🇨🇭 Switzerland to Finland: visa and entry requirements 🇫🇮

Visa-freeOrdinary passport

Visa-free · Visa-free entry under Switzerland–EU free movement; longer presence may require Finnish registration · Swiss citizens may enter Finland without a visa under the Switzerland–EU Agreement on the Free Movement of Persons using a valid Swiss passport or identity card. This free-movement basis differs from the visa-exempt third-country tourist regime, so the common Schengen 90-days-in-180 limit is not encoded as a maximum for Swiss citizens. Presence beyond the short visitor period may require Finnish registration or satisfaction of residence conditions, and work, study or establishment can require the corresponding local formalities. The absence of a visa requirement does not replace the need for an accepted travel document and ordinary admission checks.
