All those who hold a Finnish passport and are planning to travel in the winter should check the expiring date of the passport. The delivery time of a normal passport is 2 - 3 weeks, the passport is delivered from Finland (price 90€) and for a passport as express service the delivery time is about a week (price 110€ and courier fee). So called temporary passports for a year are not issued since the new passport law from year 2006. The Embassy can issue a temporary passport for a short time for a very cogent reason (a paid and booked holiday is not such a reason). The cost is 135€.
