Pasi Tuominen, Director of the Consular Services Department of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Finland, announced this at a press conference on September 14.
“We made a decision that we will expand the acceptance of visa applications at our visa centers in Russia, starting from October 1. Visa Application Centers will start accepting visa applications from two new groups of applicants. These are those who have a business purpose of travel, the second category is all applicants who have an expired multiple-entry Schengen visa issued by Finland for a period of at least two years, ”Tuominen said.
Tuominen added that the reception of citizens will be carried out by appointment. He noted that a person applying for a visa will take on the responsibility of checking the grounds for entering the country.
“Expansion of visa applications does not change the current restrictions on entry to Finland, decisions to cancel or change the restrictions on entry have not yet been made,” said the Director of the Consular Services Department of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Finland.
