Finland is tightening restrictions on the entry of Russian citizens into the country. On 12 November 2026, the Government issued a resolution, which stated the threat that the entry of Russian citizens into the country poses to Finland’s international relations. The new restrictions apply to short-term work carried out under a visa, including professional sports. As of 16 November 2026, public authorities will take the new resolution into account when considering visa applications and assessing the conditions for entry and short-term stay.
Over 96% of Finland's electricity is generated from non-fossil sources, one of the highest shares in the world. Total fossil fuel consumption has been halved over the past 15 years, decreasing from 47% in 2010 to 26% in 2025.
