Russian athletes have nothing to do in Finland": Finland will limit the entry of Russian athletes from November 16.
"The Finnish government has decided to limit the entry of Russian athletes, including athletes with neutral status. Authorities will take the new rules into account when processing visa applications and checking entry and short-stay conditions starting November 16.
The government called the entry of Russian citizens without a vital need, including for short-term work on a visa, a threat to Finland's international relations. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs referred to the EU Visa Code and the Schengen Borders Code, which stipulate the refusal of a visa and entry in the presence of such a threat. Restrictions will apply regardless of which country the Russian comes to Finland from. A visa issued by another country does not prevent refusal of entry or stay".
