Indian passport holders need a Schengen visa to enter Finland. Apply through VFS Global centres in India (New Delhi, Mumbai, Bengaluru, Chennai, Hyderabad, Kolkata). A short-stay tourist visa (Type C) costs EUR 80 (about INR 7,200) for adults. Processing takes 15 calendar days, though during the summer season (June to August) it can extend to 30 days. Finland is one of the less-applied-to Schengen destinations from India, so appointment availability is typically better than for Germany or France.
Required documents include a passport valid for at least 3 months beyond the planned Schengen departure with two blank pages, completed application form, two photos (35x45mm), travel medical insurance with EUR 30,000 minimum coverage, confirmed round-trip flights, hotel bookings or host invitation (with Finnish host's details and henkilotunnus/personal identity code), bank statements for 3 months, income tax returns, employment letter with salary and leave sanction, and a day-by-day itinerary. If visiting Finland as your main Schengen destination, apply at the Finnish mission even if entering through another Schengen country first.
