Finland will open its borders to Ukrainian travelers on July 26, Foreign Affairs Minister Dmytro Kuleba announced on July 20.
Finland will admit only those “who have undergone a full course of vaccination,” Kuleba said.
The final dose of the vaccine should be administered no less than two weeks before the trip. Finland only accepts vaccines approved by the European Medicines Agency (EMA) or the World Health Organization (WHO). These include Pfizer-BioNTech, Moderna, AstraZeneca, Johnson & Johnson and Sinopharm.
According to the Embassy of the Republic of Finland in Ukraine, a trip to Finland requires the following documents:
- biometric travel passport or visa;
- documentary confirmation of the purpose of your trip (card of a resident of an EU country or residence permit, hotel reservation, invitation of a business partner, etc.);
- confirmation of your financial solvency such as a bank statement (€30 per day of the trip);
- health insurance policy that is recognized in EU countries.
