IMPACT – MEDIUM
What is the change? The Finnish Embassy in the U.K. is changing its Schengen Visa application process.
What does the change mean? Three visa application centers (administered by VFS Global) will open in London, Manchester and Edinburgh to handle applications for Schengen Visas. Appointments must be made online. The Finnish Embassy will continue to process residence permits, but all customer service requests, including residence permits, will be by appointment only.
BAL Analysis: The new visa application centers will only process applications for Schengen Visas. There is no change to work visas and residence permits, which must continue to be submitted to the embassy.
