- Finland said Thusday, Sep 29 it will bar Russians with Schengen tourist visas from entering the country at midnight (2100 GMT) following a surge in arrivals after Moscow’s mobilisation order.
- Restrictions include exceptions on human rights grounds, and Russians can still enter Finland to meet family, work, or study.
- Even before Russia’s mobilisation order Finland had restricted the number of visas issued to Russians, as tourism from its eastern neighbour had caused discontent due to the war in Ukraine.
