Finland closes border for tourists from Russia

Finland closes border to tourists from Russia

Finland closes the border to Russian tourists at midnight (local time). The Finnish government expects this to lead to a significant decrease in border traffic. Russians who want to visit family or who have to be in Finland for work or study are still welcome.

Since Russia announced a partial mobilization last week, the border between Finland and Russia has been busy. Around the past weekend, 30,000 Russian citizens arrived in the neighboring country.
