How much does it cost to send a postcard abroad from Finland?
Choosing between Priority and Economy for cards abroad.
Short answer
Posti's price for an international letter or postcard up to 20 g is 3.35 euros as Priority and 3 euros as Economy, valid from 2 June 2026. Priority is the faster class. Most postcards weigh well under 20 g, so one stamp is enough.
Why
- Posti lists 3.35 euros for Priority international letters up to 20 g.
- Posti lists 3 euros for Economy international letters up to 20 g.
- The prices have been valid since 2 June 2026.
Details
Write the destination country in capital letters on the last line of the address. Use a Priority label or stamp if you want the faster service.
Tip
Send cards early in your trip. International post can take a week or more.
What may differ
Delivery times depend on the destination country and its postal service.
Common misconception
Sending a postcard abroad costs the same as within Finland.
What actually happens
Priority costs 3.35 euros, slightly more than the domestic 3 euros.
