Finland does not have a specific digital nomad visa, but non-EU citizens can apply for a residence permit for self-employment, which allows them to work remotely for a foreign company. To be eligible, you need proof of a monthly income of at least $1,315 (€1,220) for single person, valid health insurance, a passport, proof of accommodation, and proof of payment for the application fee.
Digital nomad residency in Finland
Relocation pathways
Finland does not have a dedicated digital nomad visa, but remote workers can apply for a self-employment/start- up permit for up to one year and it is extendable, which requires proof of income, health insurance, and other documents. For stays under 90 days, a standard Schengen tourist visa is an option, but this does not permit work.
