IMPACT — MEDIUM
The Finnish government recently advised travelers to obtain an A1 certificate for short business trips to countries in the European Union and European Economic Area.
Key Points:
- Individuals must apply for an A1 certificate for regular and frequent business trips to countries in the EU or EEA.
- A1 certificates allow individuals to travel to countries in the EU and EEA for business purposes for up to two years.
- Individuals who conduct business in multiple countries in the EU or EEA are permitted to apply for an A1 certificate retrospectively.
