Across the border by car and train


Dear traveller,

Are you departing from or arriving in Finland? Check our instructions to find out more.

Please note!

Import and export sanctions on goods also apply to private individuals crossing the Finnish-Russian border

The EU has imposed extensive sanctions on Russia due to the attack on Ukraine. The sanctions also apply to many consumer products. For example, you are not allowed to bring in extra fuel from Russia to Finland. Persons arriving in Finland by road from Russia and persons travelling to Russia should check the restrictions and prohibitions before they travel.

Travellers on vacation should not bring boats or personal watercraft from Russia to Finland, because they cannot be returned to Russia.

Currently, you cannot bring pleasure boats or personal watercraft from Finland to Russia.
