What the central source establishes
The short answer, without the sales pitch
For an ordinary Finland passport, tourism, business meetings, private visits and certain cultural, scientific or sporting trips may fit the unified e-visa. It is single-entry, valid for 120 days from issue and permits no more than 30 days in Russia. File on the official portal from 86 to 4 days before entry. A hotel confirmation or invitation is not part of this route.

What changes when the trip changes?
Up to 30 days, one entry
Finland is on the current unified e-visa list: one entry, no more than 30 days, an eligible purpose and an approved checkpoint. No invitation is required.
Regular tourist or business visa
A Finland traveller can still need a regular visa when the stay, entries or real purpose fall outside the simpler route shown above.
Longer, repeated or different trip
More than 30 days, more than one entry or a purpose outside the e-visa list normally means a regular visa and category-specific support.
Work and study are not tourism
Finland: Paid work and study normally begin with the Russian employer or educational institution. Re-labelling the trip to fit a simpler product creates an inconsistent application.

Tourist invitation prices for Finland
For Finland, the price is capped at an exact matching public-market tariff rounded down to the whole euro; an already lower price is kept. Where that benchmark does not sell the same country, duration and entries, the Global Voyage database or the existing country review rate remains in place.
| Validity and entries | Price | Tariff status |
|---|---|---|
| Single entry · up to 30 days | €26 per traveller | Checked market ceiling · rounded down |
| Double entry · up to 30 days | €26 per traveller | Checked market ceiling · rounded down |
| Single entry · up to 90 days | €32 per traveller | Checked market ceiling · rounded down |
| Double entry · up to 90 days | €35 per traveller | Checked market ceiling · rounded down |
| Multiple entry · up to 180 days | €42 per traveller | Checked market ceiling · rounded down |
A price does not mean an invitation is needed. Follow the visa-free or e-visa route above when it covers the actual trip.
