Discover visa requirements for your trip
Indonesian nationals need a Schengen short-stay (Type C) visa to travel to Finland for tourism. It must be obtained before departure.
Finland is part of the Schengen area and does not exempt Indonesian citizens from the visa requirement for tourism. Applications are lodged with the Finnish mission responsible for Indonesia, usually through a partner centre in Jakarta. The visa allows up to 90 days within any 180-day period across the whole Schengen area.
Do you need a visa?
Yes. An Indonesian national must apply for a Schengen Type C visa before travelling to Finland for tourism. Finland must be the main destination (the longest stay) or the first point of entry if stays are of equal length. The visa is then valid for all Schengen countries.
How and where to apply
The file is lodged with the Embassy of Finland responsible for Indonesia or with its visa service provider (VFS Global in Jakarta depending on the posting). The appointment, capture of biometric data (fingerprints and photo) and submission of the file are done in person. Confirm the provider and exact location on finlandabroad.fi before booking a slot.
Documents and fees
Prepare a passport valid for at least three months beyond the planned departure and issued within the last ten years, the Schengen application form, a compliant photo, travel medical insurance covering at least €30,000, proof of accommodation, a round-trip flight reservation and evidence of funds. The visa fee is normally €90 for an adult, excluding the provider's service charge. Check the current fee before paying.
Processing and tips
Processing usually takes 15 to 45 days. Apply no earlier than six months before travel and no later than 15 days before departure. Appointment slots in Jakarta fill quickly in peak season, so book early. Consistent dates across flight, accommodation and insurance make the decision smoother.
Common mistakes
Refusals often stem from inadequate insurance, weak proof of funds, a passport near expiry, or filing with the wrong Schengen country when Finland is not the main destination. Do not buy non-refundable tickets before the visa is granted.
