Canada to Finland visa requirements
No visa required. Canadian ordinary passport holders can enter Finland visa-free for tourism for up to 90 days within any 180-day period under the Schengen short-stay rule. As of 21 June 2026, ETIAS is not yet operational, so no travel authorization is needed beyond a valid passport. Finland is part of the Schengen Area, and Canada is a Schengen visa-exempt country. A Canadian ordinary passport holder may travel to Finland for tourism without a visa, staying up to 90 days in any rolling 180-day period (this limit is shared across all Schengen countries combined, not per country). The passport must be valid for at least 3 months beyond the planned departure date and issued within the last 10 years. As of 21 June 2026, the EU's ETIAS travel authorization is not yet in force — it is scheduled to launch in the last quarter of 2026, with the exact start date to be announced before it becomes operational, so Canadians currently do not need ETIAS. The EU Entry/Exit System (EES) is now operational for short-stay non-EU travellers at the external Schengen border, meaning travelers may register biometric data (fingerprints and a facial photo) on arrival; no advance action is required.
