Visa requirements for Finnish citizens are administrative entry restrictions by the authorities of other states placed on citizens of Finland.
As of December 2024, Finnish citizens had visa-free or visa on arrival access to 192 countries and territories, ranking the Finnish passport 2nd in the world, tied with passports from France, Germany, Spain, Italy and Japan according to the Henley Passport Index. [1]
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.

Visa requirements for Finnish citizens for visits to various territories, disputed areas, partially recognized countries and restricted zones:
Holders of various categories of official Finnish passports have additional visa-free access to the following countries:
Holders of diplomatic or service passports of any country have visa-free access to Cape Verde, Ethiopia, Mali and Zimbabwe.
When in a non-EU country where there is no Finnish embassy, Finnish citizens as EU citizens have the right to get consular protection from the embassy of any other EU country present in that country.
Finnish citizens may also seek assistance from public officials in the foreign services of any of the Nordic countries, when in a country with no Finnish representation. This is afforded by the Helsinki Treaty which states that public officials in the foreign services of any of the Nordic countries shall assist citizens of another Nordic country if that country is not represented in the territory concerned. [387] [388]
Many tourists, people on working holidays, and some students and workers coming to New Zealand must pay an International Visitor Conservation and Tourism Levy (IVL) of NZD $35.
Australian citizens and permanent residents can visit, work and live in New Zealand. You do not need a visa before you travel to New Zealand.
