MFA: Changes to provision of consular services at Finnish missions abroad

Due to the amendments to the Decree, the Embassy in The Hague, the Netherlands, will take responsibility for the provision of consular services to customers of the Finnish Embassy in Brussels, Belgium, starting on 1 October 2021.  The Finnish Embassy in The Hague will continue to provide such regular consular services as passport services.

Customers of the Embassy in Yangon, Myanmar, will be given consular services at the Finnish Embassy in Bangkok, Thailand, as before. The Embassy in Yangon will continue to provide consular services to persons in distress and offer other similar consular services, with due regard to the severity and urgency of the matter at hand. The provision of residence permit services will be transferred from the Finnish Embassy in Washington DC to the Consulate General of Finland in New York. This means that all other consular services except services related to residence permits will be available at the Embassy in Washington DC.
