A visa to Finland is a Schengen visa.
The first thing you need to do is to study the website of the Finnish Consulate, where there is all the information and the list of documents they need. If you have questions after that, then go to the forums.
In order to be given a visa without any problems, the first Schengen visa and to friends, you need to have good rears in your homeland (work, bank account, etc.)

This topic is close to my heart.
I don’t know how Ukrainian friends, but Russians, Finns make out a multi-Schengen easily and simply.
It is better that you have an invitation from the host or your own hotel reservation and round-trip tickets.
Finnish visa denials are rare.

hatinka, you are not quite right
Schengen visa and Finnish visa are two different things
indeed, you can only get a Finnish visa and have the right to stay only in Finland (you can’t travel in Schengen).
But I agree that it is better to issue a one-time Schengen right away. then multi.

By the way, I don’t know how it is in Ukraine, but in the Russian Federation, the Finns don’t really look at the rear.
Job references are not required. And they never asked about the bank account. They just want you to come and spend your euros))

So, now about the embassy. in the Russian Federation, it is easier to obtain a visa through the visa center. I looked - in Ukraine there is also

comrade, since 2010, Schengen (!) National type D visas (this is what you call "Finnish" or "Polish") allow you to stay in any Schengen country for up to 90 days in half a year without the opportunity to work. In fact, they are equated to type C visas in relation to all other countries.
If a person receives nat. visa type D, say, the same Finland, he can visit all Schengen countries up to 90/180. And he will have the right to permanently reside, study, work only in Finland (according to the purpose of issuing a national visa).
Well, with type C, it's clear. And according to type C and type D, you can visit all Schengen countries, so what kind of Finnish are we talking about?
You need a regular short-term visa type C to visit friends (generally guest, invitation) or tourism (if you live in a hotel)

Ukraine does not border on Finland and they do not have any "indulgence" in attracting Ukrainians. We have something similar with the Poles, the Finns have a complete package, and not the most loyal consulate. On the other hand, the statistics are weak because few people go there, compared with Italy, Poland, Hungary.
They look at the rear in Ukraine.

hatinka, we were told something about this at the visa center in Moscow about 3 years ago.
and, by the way, maybe just something changed later.
but then I clearly remembered that you can go to Finland not only with Schengen, but also with a separate Finnish visa.
As detailed as you, I did not plunge into the question, unfortunately. maybe he always received a Schengen cartoon.

However, I have not heard that we have a Visa Center for Finland, so that either the consulate or travel agencies working in Finland, which is more expensive.

alex45, if you haven’t heard, it doesn’t mean that there isn’t))))
The link to the consulate website has all the cities and all the ways where you can apply for a Finnish visa. Including the visa center.
