Finally, I got the Finnish university offer that everyone had been dreaming about, and the next thing I wanted to do was apply for a Finnish study visa. If you want to successfully obtain the visa, you must not neglect the preparation of relevant application materials. Please see my introduction for the list of materials required to apply for a Finnish student visa.

1. List of materials required for Finnish student visa application

1. Two completed and signed application forms. Online application requires an application form.

2. Two additional pages of photos should be attached to the residence permit application form, and two standard passport photos taken in the past six months (front without hat, white background. Size is 47 mm * 36 mm, scanned photos cannot be used) , the photo is attached to the form and cannot be stapled to the application form.) Online application requires a photo attachment page.

3. The applicant’s valid passport and two copies of the first page of the passport. If there is a visa page in the passport, two copies of the visa page are required. Online application requires a valid passport, a copy of the first page of the passport and a copy of the visa page.

4. Valid medical insurance and two copies. One copy is required for online application.

A. The insurance terms must contain the following information

1). Personal information of the insured

3). Insurance amount

4) Insurance effective area

B. Instructions on insurance amount

1) If the student is studying in Finland Less than 2 years, the insured amount of the medical assistance clause in the insurance clause needs to reach 100,000 euros

2) If the student studies in Finland for more than 2 years, the insured amount of the medical and medical assistance clause in the insurance clause needs to reach 3 million euros.

C. Explanation of the insurance effective period

1) The effective start time of the insurance should be no later than the estimated time of arrival in Finland.

3) If you study in Finland for more than one year, the insurance coverage period should be at least one year.

4) There cannot be any specific limit on the number of days during which the insurance is effective. For example, some travel insurance is valid for 90 or 180 days from January 1, 2010 to January 1, 2011. This type of insurance is not available because the number of days is insufficient.

5. Original letter of admission from a Finnish educational institution and two copies. If you apply online, you need to provide the original and a copy. If your admission letter was received by mail, please submit a printed version of the admission email sent by the school.

6. A bank deposit certificate of approximately 6,720 Euros or approximately 55,300 RMB (calculated based on the foreign exchange rate) issued in the name of the applicant. Applicants must renew this certificate every year during their stay in Finland. The original and two copies are required. For online applications, the original and one copy are required.

The application form submitted by the applicant needs to be signed by the guardian. The notarial certificate should be issued by a notary public office, and the certification must be certified by the Authentication Office of the Consular Department of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the People's Republic of China.

3. Things to note when interviewing for a Finnish study visa

1. The visa and visa photos must be taken properly. Before the visa officer meets you in person, he or she will get an impression of you from the photos, which to a certain extent will affect the visa officer's initial view of you.

2. During the interview, you must pay attention to your appearance, temperament and attitude, and dress appropriately. Students should fully show their identity in their clothing. Men should look capable and not slick; women should be as ladylike as possible, not too avant-garde, and their makeup should not be too beautiful and dazzling. Americans appreciate mature and rational people. When waiting, you should be neither humble nor arrogant, wait quietly and show your temperament.

3. Smile and show confidence. Of course, confidence is based on your careful preparation for various visa issues, but the expression on the spot is also very important. A smile can shorten the distance between people, make people feel relaxed, and infect the emotions of the visa officer.

4. When speaking, the voice should be clear and the speaking speed should be slow. A clear voice means you speak with confidence and weight, showing your confidence. Speak slowly. For people who are not very good at speaking English, you can let the visa officer clearly understand what you want to express, and you can also give yourself time to think about the visa officer's questions.

5. The mentality must be calm. Don't be affected by the current situation. No matter how many people have signed in front of you, it has nothing to do with you. All you have to do is maintain a normal mentality to face the interview.

6. Don’t take chances. Sometimes, due to subjective factors, the visa officer will pass more applicants than he interviews, which is called "letting go". But it’s not enough to just rely on the visa officer to release the visa, because you can never predict the window and time for release. Only by carefully preparing for the visa and conducting mock interview training according to the most stringent model.
