Immigration and National Security
Everyone entering the country has to have visa issued by the Finnish government to stay for longer than 2 weeks. Backround checks are done, including tracking of financial records and inquiring with the country they are from for any criminal records. A passport is needed and all visitors are inspected by a doctor, metal detector, X-ray of luggage, drug sniffing dogs, bomb-sniffing dogs, and possibly more extreme measures if deemed necessary. If they have a legal-to-own weapon, it is confiscated for 1 year until put back into the market if the owner is unable to gain a firearm license.
