Visa for Finland from Uzbekistan: price, documents and processing time 2026

Uzbek citizens must hold a Schengen Type C visa for any tourist stay in Finland. The visa is valid across the Schengen area, but the application must be lodged with Finland when it is your main destination or first point of entry. It allows stays of no more than 90 days per 180-day period and confers no right to work.

The published fee is the government charge alone. Two or three other lines are added before the visa is in the passport, and they are what makes the final bill.

• Government fee90 EUR

  Schengen scale: €90 for an adult, €45 for a child aged 6 to 11, free below 6. Some facilitation agreements set a lower rate, the consulate confirms which applies to you.

• Application centre feeCapped at €45

  The Visa Code caps an external provider’s service fee at half the visa fee. It is charged on top, and it is not refunded either.

• Agency or online serviceOptional, added on top

  Never compulsory. An intermediary fills the form for you, it does not change the decision or the processing time.

• ExtrasVariable

  Courier return, SMS tracking, compliant photo, insurance, sworn translation or legalisation, depending on what the post requires.

We only display amounts published by an official source. Confirm the total before paying anything.

Gather a passport valid for at least three months beyond your intended departure, the signed form, a recent photo, travel medical insurance covering at least €30,000, proof of accommodation and a return flight, plus evidence of sufficient funds. The visa fee is typically €90 for an adult, excluding the provider's service fee. Confirm the exact amount and payment methods with the official source.

From Uzbekistan, apply in Tashkent at the responsible Finnish embassy or its authorised visa service provider (often VFS Global). Appointments are booked online and the applicant usually must attend in person for biometrics. If your trip spans several Schengen countries, apply to Finland only if it is your main destination.

• Your application goes to the state that is your main destination. If Finland is where you spend the longest, it handles the file, whatever the entry point.
• With no main destination, the competent state is the one you enter first.
• If Finland has no consulate in Uzbekistan, another Schengen state may act on its behalf under a representation arrangement, or the file goes to the post accredited for your country.

Then the application goes to the post accredited for Uzbekistan, often in a neighbouring capital, or to a state acting on its behalf. Confirm which post is competent with the official source before travelling to a third country to apply, a rejected file at the wrong counter costs the trip and the fee.

The regime follows your nationality, not where you live. If you reside in Uzbekistan but travel on another country's passport, the rule on this page is not yours. Filing usually still happens from your country of residence, at the post competent for it, but the requirement itself comes from your passport.

Processing usually takes 15 to 45 days; submit at least three to four weeks before travel and up to six months ahead. A coherent itinerary and clearly evidenced funds ease the review. Present confirmed but refundable bookings and keep a complete copy of your file.

Refusals often stem from inadequate insurance, poorly documented funds, too little passport validity, or applying to the wrong Schengen country. Also check with the official source whether any specific health requirements apply to travellers from Uzbekistan.
