D visa for returning to Finland if your residence permit card is lost, stolen, damaged or has expired abroad

You can apply for a D visa for returning to Finland if you hold a valid residence permit in Finland but your residence permit card is lost, stolen, damaged or has expired while you have been abroad.

You do not need a D visa to enter Finland if the country in which you are a citizen is a visa-exempt country. To check if you need a visa to enter Finland, see the website of the Ministry for Foreign Affairs: Visa requirement and travel documents accepted by Finland (um.fi).
