Australia to Finland visa requirements

No visa needed. Australian ordinary passport holders can enter Finland visa-free for short Schengen stays of up to 90 days in any 180-day period. Australia remains visa-exempt for Finland and the wider Schengen Area. As of 2026-06-21, ordinary Australian passport holders may visit Finland without a Schengen visa or ETIAS for tourism, business, family visits, transit and other qualifying short stays of up to 90 days within any rolling 180-day period across the Schengen Area. Finland accepts ordinary Australian passports visa-free; the passport must have been issued within the previous 10 years and remain valid for at least 90 days after the intended departure from the Schengen Area. Smartraveller also notes that Australia has bilateral visa waiver agreements with several Schengen countries, including Finland, which may allow extra Finland-specific time under strict conditions; confirm with Finnish border or consular authorities before relying on this because it is separate from the standard Schengen 90/180 allowance. The Entry/Exit System (EES) has started registering non-EU short-stay travellers at external Schengen borders, so expect fingerprints and a photo on arrival with no pre-registration or fee. ETIAS is expected to start in the last quarter of 2026, will cost EUR 20 for most adult applicants, and is not required before it becomes operational.
