How can the citizens of Micronesia obtain a FINLAND ETIAS?

Finland is renowned for its dancing reindeers and jolly man in a red suit. Lapland receives thousands of visitors every year who flock to the country to see Santa in his real life workshop. Kids will enjoy seeing the elves workshop whilst adults can feast their eyes on the Northern lights, which are regularly seen from this northerly part of Europe.

We’re sure that citizens of Micronesia are keen to continue visiting this cool country, where saunas are considered to be an essential part of a home. Socialising in a sauna is perfectly acceptable too- which makes a change from the beach for citizens of Micronesia. At the moment, in order to visit Finland, readers from Micronesia can simply jet off from the airport and present their passport at the airport.

From 2022 onwards, citizens of Micronesia must obtain a Finland ETIAS in order to visit the country. Security issues and a rise in illegal immigration has led the Schengen authories to introduce this measure in an attempt to control who arrives within the borders of this giant land mass. Free travel within Europe is automatically granted to all citizens of the Schengen Economic Area, however soon tourists will need to complete the ETIAS in order to be allowed entry.

You should be prepared with this document before you set off, as you won’t be able to enter without it once it comes into force. Find out everything you need to know with this helpful FAQ section to get your trip to Finland off to a smooth start.

Frequently Asked Questions

What can you tell me about the ETIAS?

This acronym represents European Travel Information and Authorization System and that’s basically what it is. An authorization system that produces a rapid assessment using the applicants personal details by checking them against various databases. The idea is that real tourists and business workers will continue to enjoy entry to the Schengen Area, and the region will be safer.

What places of interest could Micronesian visit in Finland?

Families will love Finland because it is the perfect place to take children, with magical winter scenes and parks to visit. Lapland isn’t just for kids, because you can also discover the town of Aavasaksa in the north of the region. Known for midsummer celebrations as it’s ideally situated to see the midnight sun, this area is fantastic for skiing and winter sports and is also close enough to the Swedish border to pop over for some meatballs.

Can children apply for an ETIAS?

Every traveller, even children and older people from Micronesia will need to present an ETIAS travel authorization upon their arrival in Finland in order to be permitted entry once the program starts in 2022.

It’s not possible for children to travel using their parent’s passport so they must have their own and also apply for an ETIAS using the valid passport number.

Applicants will note a section of the form where parents and guardians can indicate that they are completing it for a young person. If you have any questions about applying for your child’s visa, speak to one of iVisa.com’s helpful team members on the 24/7 chat function found on the iVisa.com website.

How long does the ETIAS authorization last for?

If approved, the ETIAS can have a maximum validity of 3 years or a minimum validity of the duration of your vacation. Either way, it only lasts until the end of validity of the travel document registered during application, because once your passport expires your ETIAS does too. Whether you will get the maximum period of validity or the minimum depends on the system’s evaluation of your information and risk.

Citizens of Micronesia can obtain a Finland ETIAS in just a few easy steps on the iVisa.com website.

What is the price of the documents to apply?

The ETIAS is not expected to blow your budget. We want to give you the most updated and official information, so as the price hasn’t yet been announced we can’t give you a total, but rumour has it that it will total around €7 for each application.

We also heard on the grapevine that the fee is only for adults over 18 years old, which means kids go free.

You can pay the fee by debit or credit card as well as Paypal. Immediately after you complete the payment, the ETIAS authorization will start processing.

Could my ETIAS be denied?

Within the selected processing time for your document, you will get a response on the status of your ETIAS. If it is approved, congratulations and get packing! If not, you will get a denial message. In the email, you will also have a reason as to why the ETIAS was denied. You could appeal this decision or based on the denial reason, you can adjust your application and try again.
