Can I enter Finland with a Temporary Passport?

Post by aic18 » Fri Jan 24, 2014 11:24 am

Soon, I will be moving to Finland. I have a Temporary Passport from a country in the EU. From my understanding if I hold a passport from a country in the EU (whether temporary or permanent) I do not need a residence permit or visa to stay in Finland for more than 3 months. Is this correct?

Additional info: I will be getting my passport renewed once in Finland to a permanent passport. Thank you to anyone who answers :)

If you are in schengen region, nobody checks your passport any more for entry into Finland. but anyway, i think temporary passport or other travel documents are for the purpose of traveling, so whole point of issuing temporary passport becomes moot if it's not valid or cannot be used for traveling.

oh.. on a second read, you need to have a reason to stay in Finland if your stay is over 3 months. Temporary passport shouldn't in any way be obstacle for you.
