How much does a Schengen visa for Finland cost?
Visa fees, lower rates under facilitation agreements and visa centre charges.
Short answer
A Schengen visa for Finland costs 90 euros for applicants aged 12 and over and 45 euros for children aged 6 to 11. Children under 6 pay nothing. Citizens of countries with an EU visa facilitation agreement pay 35 euros, and a Visa Application Centre adds its own service fee.
Why
- The price list of Finnish missions, updated 1 November 2026, gives 90 euros for a Schengen visa and 45 euros for children aged 6 to 11.
- The Finland Visa Application Centre in the USA lists 35 euros for citizens of visa facilitation countries such as Moldova, Serbia and Ukraine.
- VFS Global states that applicants who are exempt from the visa fee still pay the visa centre service fee.
Details
The visa fee is not refunded if the application is refused. Some groups, such as family members of EU citizens, may be exempt from the fee.
Tip
Check the price in local currency on the page of the mission or visa centre where you apply, because it follows the exchange rate.
What may differ
The VFS Global service fee differs by country. In the USA, for example, extra courier fees apply in some cities.
Common misconception
The visa fee is paid back if your visa is refused.
What actually happens
The fee pays for processing the application, so it is kept even when the answer is no.
