3.9 Visas and Permits
Students from the EU and EEA countries do not need a visa to enter the country. However, students who intend to stay in Finland for more than three months have to apply for a Residence Permit from the local police station. The application for the Residence Permit requires two photographs, a certificate of registration from Laurea Polytechnic and a certificate that the student is capable of supporting him/herself during the stay in Finland. Citizens of the EU and EEA countries do not need a Work Permit. Citizens of the Nordic countries do not need a Residence Permit.
To study in Finland as a degree student, students from outside the EU have to apply for a residence permit already in their own country. Also, they have to be able to show that they have either FIM 30.000 on a Finnish bank account or a scholarship/stipend that will cover their living expenses for the academic year; a new deposit is required every year.
