    Finland Travel Advice

    Best time to go to Finland

    Remember to pack your thermals if you’re heading to Finland in the winter – the north of the country sits within the Arctic Circle. Winter kicks in here around October time, bringing thick snow and temperatures below freezing. During December and January, the mercury drops even further – minus 10°C is common, and temperatures can fall as low as minus 30°C. Daylight hours vary quite a bit over the winter, from as little as four hours a day around Christmas, to eight or nine in March. Visit in the summer, meanwhile, and you can expect temperatures that range from between 15°C and 32°C, with the warmest days found in the south.

    Passports & Visas

    British citizens don’t need a visa to enter Finland but must have a valid passport. You can check your passport’s valid for Finland using our handy tool. For the most up-to-date passport and visa info, visit www.gov.uk/foreign-travel-advice/finland/entry-requirements

    Health & Safety

    You should take out comprehensive travel and medical insurance to cover you while you’re away. If you’re travelling to the EU and you apply for a card now, you'll get a new UK Global Health Insurance Card (GHIC) instead of an EHIC. This entitles you to emergency medical treatment on the same terms as Finnish nationals. It won’t, however, cover you for medical repatriation, ongoing medical treatment or non-urgent treatment. Visit www.nhs.uk/ehic for full details on what it covers. You do not need to apply for a GHIC if you already have an EHIC. Your EHIC remains valid in the EU until it expires. An EHIC or GHIC is free of charge. For the latest health and safety information, visit www.gov.uk/foreign-travel-advice/finland/health
