Visa & Entry

Finnish citizens enter the UK visa-free for tourism, business meetings, and short courses for up to 6 months. Since Brexit, the UK is no longer part of EU free movement. You must use a passport at the UK border. Finnish national ID cards are not accepted for entry.

At the e-gates, scan your biometric passport and walk through. No stamp is given at e-gates. If you go through a manned booth, the officer may ask about your travel purpose and return plans. No advance paperwork or ETA is required for Finnish passport holders as of 2026.

You cannot work in the UK on a tourist entry. For work, you need a sponsored visa. The NHS does not cover Finnish visitors. Travel insurance is strongly recommended since EHIC/GHIC cards are not valid in the UK post-Brexit. The pound sterling trades at roughly EUR 1.15 to 1.20 per GBP. Finnair and British Airways fly Helsinki to London Heathrow direct.

Verify entry requirements with official sources before travel.
