Posted date: 10 Jul 2023
Next week’s scheduled visit of the United States President, Joe Biden, to Finland, has led the latter’s authorities to temporarily reintroduce internal border controls.
The US President will hold meetings with the leaders of all Nordic countries in Helsinki on Thursday, July 13, as a result, the Finnish government announced that internal border controls will be kept in place from July 8 to July 15, SchengenVisaInfo.com reports.
“President of the Republic Sauli Niinistö will host United States President Joe Biden’s visit to Finland and the US-Nordic Leaders’ Summit in Helsinki on 13 July 2023. Border control will be reinstated temporarily at Finland’s internal borders due to the visit. Internal borders are the borders between countries in the Schengen Area,” the statement of Finland’s Ministry of Interior says, noting that a decision on the matter was taken on July 6, 2023.
However, border controls will not be carried out on all travellers, but authorities will decide who should be checked, according to Finnish authorities.
