Does anyone know whether it is difficult for a Russian woman to get a Finnish Tourist visa? TIA

I am not sure how relevant this question is to this board, except that she is Russian. I am not sure, probably will depend on the officer at the embassy, but I would think it should not be a big deal, since Finland is still Europe and right next to Russia.

Good luck,

Mike.

I wanna say it's no problem at all. I think that's where everyone was saying Russian women should go when they're denied exit to the States at SVO or MOW. "Take the train to Finland, then fly out from there."

(There was a case or two of Russian wives being denied exit at the airports in Moscow because there was a visa question about their re-entry into the States. The Russians wouldn't let them leave the country via the airport. It was suggested that they simply take a tour to Finland (easy enough... just buy a ticket, get on the train and go. No visa issues there.) Then fly out from Finland. Why would the border guards there deny a Russian from flying out?)

I think they have a US/Canada type border.

Same would be true if they went to Kyiv. No visa required for a Russian to cross into Ukraine........

It's very easy. My wife, who was a travel agent in Russia, did it all the time for people.

Cheers!

She should use a travel agent in Russia - they have the know-how. $150 USD for a multiple entry shengen visa. Easy. It's how Natalia got into Germany to see me over New Year's.
