Tourist Visa from Nigeria to Finland

Tourist Visa from Nigeria to Finland Description

To visit Finland for tourism or spend some time with a family member or friend, you need a tourist visa.
First, the visa applicant must download and fill the visa application form completely and accurately.
Make sure your passport is valid for at least three (3) months after the end of your intended travel and that it has been issued no later than ten (10) years ago.
The visa processing fee must be paid in cash upon application. Some embassies accept bank transfers.
A Finland visa can be granted free of charge:

in the event of major disasters or other similar situations whenever supported by humanitarian reasons.
for groups of schoolchildren or adolescents under 18 years of age participating in cultural or sports events to which they have been invited by the event sponsor.
to holders of a diplomatic or service passport or their family members, whose visit will be of considerable importance for the relations between Finland and the foreign state in question.

To be entitled to a visa, you must live or reside legally in the country where you submit the application. If the conditions in your case are not fulfilled, the visa is refused. You will be notified about this refusal in writing.
Common reasons your visa might be refused include:

you do not have an approved, valid travel document.
you do not provide justification to prove the purpose and conditions of your stay.
you do not have sufficient means of subsistence for the duration of the stay.
you are not entitled to return to the country of origin or to continue to a third country.
the mission has well-grounded reasons to doubt that you do not intend to exit the Schengen area before the expiry of the visa that you are applying for.
you may have an entry ban to Finland or to some other Schengen state or be considered to be a danger to a member state's public order, internal security or international relations.

The visa that has already been granted to you will be annulled if the conditions for issuing it were not met at the time when it was issued.
