Sorry Heikki: As of Jan 23 -2007 most traveling back into the USA will have
to have a passport. I don't think special dispensation for Finland will be given.
To go to Finland from the USA you would need the following:A. The following documents are required for a Visitor/Tourist Schengen Visa to Finland:
1. A duly completed visa application!
2. One passport size photo ( Link to passport photo standards)
3.
A valid passport or other travel document
(must be valid at least three months after the expiry of the visa)A 100% made in the USA pasport is needed to travel outside the USA soon~
Ok Passports have always been need by Finns to enter the USA and also Passports needed by all entering Finland...
But in 2007 we,ll need visas? to enter the USA? And folks from USA need Visa to enter Finland? It hasnt been like that before... And how do I know?
I worked at our International Airport. And at Sea...
I know for certain that the USA and Finland and Canada has had Visa Free Agreement for stay not exceeding 3 months.
and with special permission of an extended stay for up to 6 months..however return tickets had to be shown.
Man they are buckling things up arent they...Sure is sad in some ways..
So when does the non visitor policy come effective? All doors sealed and double sealed?
I know the Eu is tightening the passports too.. meaning we,ll have BIO Passports which cant be forged nor copied...Weve already go them in use.
Also before we had our own Blue and White Passports that said Suomi Finland on it till we joined this BS EU and its beuracracy and it had to be made Red or Maroon in color with the logo EU And Finland...which I hate with a Passion..
I remember telling the Passport Officials here that the only thing missing from our passports are the words CCCP... Boy did I get an angry expression in return...
Next thing we,ll all get micro chips....and ...
So Sad
