How to go

VISA AND OTHER PROCEDURES

Portuguese citizens only need to show a citizen card to enter Finland. Brazilian citizens must be in possession of a passport but do not need a visa.

HEALTH CARE

No vaccine or prophylaxis is normally considered indispensable for Finland. 

If you are visiting Finland – and especially Finnish Lapland – during the dead of winter, make sure you are physically fit and have the necessary clothes and equipment. On the coldest days in Finnish Lapland, temperatures easily drop below -30°C.

Take your European Health Insurance Card with you so that you can enjoy healthcare at a reduced cost and with special conditions, in case you have any unexpected problems.
