Discover visa requirements for your trip
Cambodian nationals need a Schengen short-stay (Type C) visa to visit Finland. The standard fee is around €90 for an adult.
Cambodia is not visa-exempt for the Schengen area, so a Cambodian traveller wishing to visit Finland must obtain a short-stay visa before departure. The application is lodged with the Finnish mission responsible for Cambodia or its external service provider, provided Finland is the main destination of the trip. Processing usually takes 15 to 45 days.
Do you need a visa?
Yes. As a Cambodian citizen you must obtain a Schengen Type C visa (short stay, up to 90 days in any 180-day period) for a tourist trip to Finland. The visa then allows travel throughout the Schengen area, but it must be applied for to Finland when Finland is your sole or main destination.
How and where to apply
As Finland does not necessarily have an embassy in Cambodia, the application is lodged with the Finnish mission responsible for Cambodia (often through a regional hub) or its authorised external provider such as VFS Global, by appointment. Complete the Schengen form, gather the documents, then attend in person to give biometrics (unless they were captured within the last 59 months).
Documents and fees
Prepare a passport valid at least 3 months beyond your intended departure from Schengen and issued within the last 10 years, two recent standard photos, travel medical insurance covering at least €30,000, proof of accommodation and an itinerary (return flights), and evidence of sufficient funds. The visa fee is generally €90 for an adult (reduced for children), plus the provider's service charge; confirm the exact amount before paying.
Processing and tips
Processing normally takes 15 to 45 days; apply at most six months before travel and no later than 15 days before departure, as timelines lengthen in peak season. Book the appointment early, present an itinerary consistent with your bookings and insurance valid for the whole stay. Keep copies of the entire file.
Common mistakes to avoid
Do not apply through another Schengen country if Finland is your main destination — the application would be refused or returned. Do not neglect travel insurance (the €30,000 threshold is mandatory) or proof of funds. Avoid non-refundable bookings until the visa is granted, and check that the passport meets the 3-month residual validity and 10-year age rules.
