Do I need a transit Visa in Helsinki? [duplicate]

I am a Chinese citizen and I will be travelling from Copenhagen to Beijing. However I have a layover in Helsinki and recently I have been rejected a student visa in Sweden (I am allowed to travel from Copenhagen). I got a letter from the Swedish Migration Office that I have 4 weeks to leave the country, which expires on the 1st of June. The layover is no more than 4 hours and I do not plan to leave the airport. Do I still need the transit visa in Finland?

Best Answer

Copenhagen is in Denmark, and Helsinki in Finland. For border purposes, Denmark and Finland are actually in the same "Country", called the Schengen Area (or Schengen for short). Therefore Copenhagen-Helsinki flights are practically domestic, so you only clear Immigration in Helsinki - that's when you exit Schengen.
