Overview

The student or study visa offered by Finland to Indian students is considered a short-term temporary visa if they have enrolled in a course lasting 90 days. However, if the course duration exceeds 90 days, the students must apply for a Residency Permit. This permit allows them to stay in Finland for more than one year and offers the opportunity for renewal once it expires.
