Finland visa for Tunisian citizens

Finland’s tourist visa costs €90 at the standard rate published by its authorities. Processing time, as Finland states it: Normally 15 calendar days; up to 45 days if further checks are needed. Apply at least 15 days and at most six months before travel. Longest stay on the tourist visa: Up to 90 days in any 180-day period in the Schengen area.

Finland has 1 mission in Tunisia, with its embassy in Tunis.

In 2025, Finland’s embassy and consulates in Tunisia (Tunis) received 1,811 applications for short-stay Schengen visas and issued 1,284. The refusal rate was 27.0%. The refusal rate fell by 12.8 points from 39.8% in 2024, a clear improvement for applicants. Applications fell by 14% compared with 2024 (2,096).

For comparison, all Schengen states together refused 19.6% of the applications lodged in Tunisia that year, from 15.4% at the consulates of France to 46.3% at those of the Czech Republic. Finland’s consulates worldwide refused 13.4%. Finland was the 9th most applied-for Schengen state in Tunisia.

You apply to the Schengen state that is your main destination (the longest stay or the main purpose; the state of first entry only when there is none), so a lower rate elsewhere is no reason to apply there. The figures cover applications lodged in Tunisia, by any nationality: mostly citizens, but also residents from other countries.

For a trip from Tunisia to Finland, the published travel advice reads as follows: the US State Department rates Finland at Level 1, exercise normal precautions (updated 12 March 2026), the UK Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office does not advise against travel to Finland (updated 11 August 2026) and the German Foreign Office has no travel warning for Finland (updated 13 October 2026).
