Current Travel Situation
Mongolia to Finland: What You Need to Know
Finland is a Schengen member state and Mongolian citizens must obtain a type C short-stay Schengen visa before travel. Finland is known for its pristine nature, Northern Lights, thousands of lakes, and Helsinki's design-forward capital city.
The Finnish Embassy is present in Ulaanbaatar, making it straightforward for Mongolian residents to apply without needing to travel abroad. The embassy handles standard Schengen applications with typical processing of 10 to 15 working days.
Finland is an excellent destination for nature lovers, with Lapland offering Santa Claus experiences in winter and midnight sun hikes in summer. Helsinki is a short flight from many Asian hubs via connections.
Practical Tips
Apply at least four to six weeks before travel. Winter visits (December to March) to Finnish Lapland for Northern Lights and reindeer safaris require advance accommodation booking as popular resorts fill up quickly. Helsinki is well connected to Ulaanbaatar via Moscow, Beijing, or Helsinki-Vantaa direct/connecting flights. A Schengen visa for Finland also permits travel to other Schengen countries during the same trip.
