Consent must be valid at the time of submission of documents to the consulate.

Please note that the Consulate General of Finland does not accept for consideration foreign passports in which entry/exit stamps are sealed with visas and stamps of other countries! The laminate of the passport should not move away from the paper base. In addition, a foreign passport may contain stamps only about crossing the border, supplied by customs or border services.

Since October 18, 2013, a new rule has been in force for calculating the number of days of stay in the territory of the Schengen countries.

Within 180 days in the territory of the Schengen countries, you can stay no more than 90 days: for each day of stay, the previous 180 days must be taken into account. Days are taken into account both for the current visa and for the previous one.

The rule for calculating six months from the moment of the first entry is no longer valid.

Thus, at the time of crossing the border, the number of days already spent in the Schengen area should not exceed 90 in the last 180 days. For example, a person passes border control on 09/13/2013. From this date we count the previous 180 days, we get the period from 03/18/2013 to 09/13/2013. During this period, the number of days of stay in the Schengen area should not exceed 90 days. The number of days spent in the Schengen area should not exceed 90 days in the last 180 days, both at the time of entry into the Schengen countries and exit.

Below is a table to help you calculate days spent. This table is not an official calculation tool, but only an aid to explaining the new Schengen Rule.
