A Finnish passport

Visa requirements for Finnish citizens are administrative entry restrictions by the authorities of other states placed on citizens of Finland. As of May 2023, Finnish citizens had visa-free or visa on arrival access to 191 countries and territories, ranking the Finnish passport 4th in terms of travel freedom (tied with Austria, Luxembourg, and Sweden) according to the Henley Passport Index.^[1] Additionally, the World Tourism Organization also published a report on 15 January 2016 ranking the Finnish passport 1st in the world (tied with Denmark, Germany, Italy, Luxembourg, Singapore and the United Kingdom) in terms of travel freedom, with the mobility index of 160 (out of 215 with no visa weighted by 1, visa on arrival weighted by 0.7, eVisa by 0.5 and traditional visa weighted by 0).^[2]

As a member state of the European Union, Finnish citizens enjoy freedom of movement within the European Economic Area (EEA). The Citizens’ Rights Directive^[3] defines the right of free movement for citizens of the EEA. Through bilateral agreements freedom of movement is extended to Switzerland,^[4] and all EU and EFTA nationals are not only visa-exempt but are legally entitled to enter and reside in each other's countries.

In order to travel to another country, a Finnish citizen requires a passport, except within the Nordic Passport Union, where no travel document is required, however traveler in the Nordic Passport Union must be able to prove their identity, for example with a passport, identity card or a Nordic driving license. A passport is also not required for holders of the Finnish identity card for travel to European countries (except Belarus, Russia, Turkey and Ukraine) as well as French overseas territories and Georgia.
