Singapore to Finland visa requirements

Singapore ordinary passport holders can visit Finland visa-free for up to 90 days within any 180-day period for tourism. ETIAS is not yet required (launch expected late 2026). Finland is part of the Schengen Area, and Singapore is on the EU's visa-exempt list. As of 25 June 2026, holders of an ordinary Singapore passport may enter Finland and the wider Schengen Area without a visa for short stays of up to 90 days within any rolling 180-day period, covering tourism, family visits, business and short-term study. Finland Abroad lists Singapore travel documents as visa-free for the Schengen Area and Finland, and EUR-Lex Regulation (EU) 2018/1806 lists Singapore in Annex II for short-stay visa exemption. No visa or pre-travel authorisation is required to enter today. Travelers should note two EU border systems: the Entry/Exit System (EES) became fully operational on 10 April 2026, so on arrival your fingerprints and facial image are registered electronically instead of a passport stamp. This is free and done at the border. The European Travel Information and Authorisation System (ETIAS) is not in operation yet and is scheduled to start in the last quarter of 2026; once live it will require Singapore citizens to obtain an online travel authorisation (currently set at EUR 20, valid 3 years) before departure. Until ETIAS is operational and mandatory, a valid passport remains sufficient. Ensure your passport is valid for at least 3 months beyond your planned departure from the Schengen Area and was issued within the last 10 years.
