Apply for a visa for France in Finland

Visa applications submitted in Finland are examined by the consular section of the French Embassy in Helsinki, only legal authority to take decisions about visas.

The reception of visa applicants residing in Finland is ensured by appointment only.

Information :

• Finnish citizens are not subject to a visa to enter France regardless of the duration or reason of their stay.
• All citizens holding a valid ordinary passport and a valid Finnish resident permit are not subject to an entry visa to France for touristic short stays (not exceeding 90 days per period of 180 days).

What are the application fees?

Fees are seen by the French administration for the processing of your application.

The amount received in credit card is non-refundable by the administration, even in the case of a visa refusal. A receipt is delivered.

Book an appointment

Wait times may vary depending on the number of applicants and the season. Users are therefore required to anticipate in order to obtain their appointment.

Please be aware that the demands tend to increase before summer (may to august) and winter holidays, stretching the wait time (both to get an appointment and to get your visa, if granted).
