Before embarking on your travel to Finland, you should know which cities in Finland are allowed to issue stamps. Only citizens of these cities can use the stamps they issue. For example, if a traveler wishes to obtain stamps from Rokin, he/she would not be able to use the stamps of other Schengen countries. Similarly, non- FINrians are not allowed to drive on roads in Finland unless they hold a driving licence from their home country. Non- FIN motorists are also forbidden to drive on inland waters of FIN apart from lakes and rivers.
Non- FIN passengers arriving in Finland need to take care of certain important issues before travelling. Passengers will need to be aware of the law regarding traffic signals in Finland before travelling. Some important traffic signs include lights towards oncoming traffic, turning lanes, stop signs, pedestrians and other road markings. These safety measures are often in place to reduce traffic congestion and increase safety for travellers.
If a traveller has no access to a phone or Internet, they will have to rely on another means of communication while travelling to Finland. Tourists can call a local telephone operator to inform them of their arrival or pick up a prepaid international telephone card or passbook that can be used anywhere in the country. It is also legal for passengers leaving the country to pay an extra fee to use a cellular telephone while traveling, unless it is a personal phone. Tourists can still make phone calls to friends and family during their stay in Finland.
Another important issue to be aware of is U.S. federal law regarding crossing the border. It is prohibited for travelers from some countries to have any monetary exchange items – including electronic money – with anyone except from registered mail with a postal address in the United States. Therefore, it is important to ensure that all mail containing monetary funds is received and collected by a U.S. post office before proceeding to Finland. In addition, travellers may be required to check in at designated check points at immigration stations and international frontier points along the border. Immigrants from some countries are prohibited from taking monetary payments or leaving the country for three months after the arrival date.
There are several exceptions to these three month ban rules. For instance, some immigrants from Afghanistan and Iraq are allowed to work in Finland as long as they can show proof of having acquired workable foreign language skills and that they intend to return to their home country. Canadian citizens who are currently studying in Finland may also enter the country on an e fideic (E visa) visa. Foreign tourists who have applied for a permanent residence in Finland may also apply for an E visa and can expect to be allowed to stay in the country for two years.
Immigration procedures and paperwork can be complex for many people. There are many organizations and agencies in Canada and the United States that can offer support during and after travel to Finland. Traveling to Finland can provide a new experience for citizens from different cultures and countries, providing an opportunity to explore new places and meet new friends.
