Big changes are happening for visa applicants planning to visit Finland from the UAE. As of 2025, the Finnish Embassy in Abu Dhabi is no longer accepting visa applications for Finland. Instead, applicants are now required to process their Finland visa through Qatar (Doha).
At Sadaat Student Consultant, we’re staying ahead of visa policy changes and helping our clients adapt quickly and smoothly. Here’s everything you need to know about this update.
1. What Has Changed?
The Finnish Embassy in Abu Dhabi has stopped processing Schengen visa applications for Finland. This change affects residents of the UAE, including tourists and students.
2. Why is This Happening?
While no official reason has been made public, embassy restructuring and centralization of visa services are common causes. Finland is now directing applicants to Doha, Qatar, for visa processing under the Finnish consulate jurisdiction.
3. Who is Affected?
- UAE Residents (regardless of nationality)
- Pakistani, Indian, Bangladeshi passport holders living in the UAE
- Applicants planning tourism, family visits, or student travel to Finland
4. New Application Process via Qatar
Now applicants need to:
- Travel to Doha, Qatar for biometric data submission
- Possibly stay overnight due to appointment schedules
- Coordinate with VFS Global or other visa handling centers in Qatar
👉 Sadaat Student Consultant assists clients in securing Qatar appointment slots, preparing documentation, and handling logistics for smooth visa filing.
