As a member state of the European Union, Finnish citizens enjoy freedom of movement within the European Economic Area (EEA). The Citizens’ Rights Directive [2] defines the right of free movement for citizens of the EEA. Through bilateral agreements freedom of movement is extended to Switzerland, [3] 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.
