If you’re heading to Finland, be aware of a recent visa change. The minimum daily financial requirement has gone up from €30 (INR 2,737) to €50 (INR 4,560) starting January 2024. This change, by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, aims to manage immigration better and prevent overstays. Travelers must now show proof of sponsorship or accommodation for their entire stay.
For shorter visits, individuals need a higher daily bank balance to qualify for the visa.
A Schengen visa allows entry to 23 EU countries, plus Norway, Iceland, Switzerland, and Liechtenstein. These changes aim to simplify the visa process.
