Europe · Europe du Nord

For the Åland Islands, the official register designates the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Finland and its section devoted to the entry of foreign nationals. That portal could not be consulted on 2026-09-17 (HTTP 403 response), nor could two other Finnish official sites that were called. The pages of the Government of Åland that were actually read deal with neither visas nor residence permits. No procedure is therefore described here.

The information on this page helps prepare a case. Only the competent authority decides; always check the official source before filing an application.

Where and how to apply

Not stated on the portal consulted. The register's portal (the section on the entry of foreign nationals of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Finland) returned an HTTP 403 response on 2026-09-17, as did the site of the Finnish Immigration Service and the network of Finnish missions abroad.

The two official pages actually read are those of the Government of Åland: the home page and the section "Flytta till Åland" (moving to Åland). The latter refers to the official information site for Åland and names no authority competent for visas or residence permits.

Consulted sources

Official pages read to write this guide, with the date they were read. A page may have changed since: check it before taking any step.

What this guide does not know yet

Points the official source does not specify and which this guide therefore left blank. Ask the competent authority about them before filing an application.

Prepare my case

This method is the same for every destination. It does not list any document as an official requirement: only the authority’s source is authoritative.

  1. Describe your situation

    Nationality, residence, purpose and dates. The checker tells covered routes apart from situations that are still unknown.

  2. Check at the source

    Open the destination’s official source and compare it with your situation before starting a procedure.

  3. Track what is left to do

    Your space keeps your answers and your declared checklist. A complete checklist does not announce a favorable decision.
