Visa scams using the names of Finnish companies and private individuals

The Embassy of Finland in New Delhi wishes to advise the public to be vigilant about fraudulent emails and announcements offering false visas and work permits to Finland. The scams are often circulated in the name of a Finnish company or private person and promise fast-track employment and visas in exchange for an upfront money transfer. These scams may also include fabricated pictures and counterfeit visa documents.

The sole authority handling and issuing visas and dealing with immigration-related issues for Finland in India is the Embassy of Finland. The rules and procedures for Finnish visas can be found at www.finland.org.in. The Embassy of Finland in New Delhi is happy to provide advice and assistance with any visa-related issues.
