Key information

Visa

When a foreign student has been accepted as a student at a Finnish educational institution, he or she must usually also apply for a residence permit. For information on residence permits, please see the section Non-EU citizens.
If the studies last for less than three months, no residence permit is needed.
The student can then conduct his or her studies within the period of validity of his or her visa or while an agreement on the abolition of visas is valid. For further information on applying for a visa, the validity periods of visas and visa application fees, as well as a list of countries whose citizens do not need visas, see the website of the Ministry for Foreign Affairs (section Services > Foreign nationals arriving in Finland).
