A huge number of Russian tourists visit Finland every year. Someone gets to their northern neighbors by plane, someone buys a train ticket, and someone enjoys traveling by private car. Sometimes tourists are faced with the nuisance of a fine for this or that violation. This happens most often with car enthusiasts. If this happens to you, don't panic. The situation is not critical and quite solvable.

Step 8
Please note that all parking in Finland is free on Sundays. However, this does not mean that you can throw the car anywhere. If you park in the wrong place, be prepared for the fact that a package with a receipt for payment of the fine will be waiting for you on the windshield.
Step 9
Do not forget that non-compliance with traffic rules, an unpaid fine or other violation recorded by the Finnish police will become a serious obstacle to obtaining a Schengen visa. Driving while intoxicated is considered a criminal offense. Persons driving a car while intoxicated will be permanently blocked from entering Finland. Take into account the fact that in 2010 a unified database of all violations was created on the territory of the EU. Accordingly, if you break the law in Finland, any Schengen country may refuse to issue you a visa.
