Belgium citizens can enter Finland without a visa and live there under freedom of movement. You only need a valid Belgium passport at the border; immigration officers may still ask for a return or onward ticket, proof of accommodation and enough money for your stay.
Whatever your visa status, Finland applies the same entry conditions to every traveller:
Finland lets 93 passports in without a visa and requires an embassy visa from 105. Belgium citizens are treated the same way as Albania, Andorra, Austria, Bosnia and Herzegovina and Bulgaria. Overall the Belgium passport ranks #3 in the world with 126 visa-free destinations.
Planning a longer trip in Europe? With a Belgium passport you can also visit 44 countries in the region without a visa, including Andorra, Albania, Armenia, Austria, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Bulgaria, Belarus and Switzerland.
In the other direction, Finland citizens can visit Belgium visa-free.
