In many countries and regions, a fishing license is often required, and Finland is no exception—you will need a fishing license here as well.Fishing licenses and regulations in Finland can be complex, but in simple terms, you typically need two types of fishing licenses.
First, you must have the National Fisheries Management Fee, which is mandatory for most anglers.In addition, you may need to purchase a fishing license issued by the local authorities or water management organization responsible for the specific area you wish to fish in.
This page will explain the fishing licenses required for fishing in the Helsinki area."
First, the essential base for fishing in Finland is called
the National Fisheries Management Fee.
This link page provides detailed explanations and instructions on
how to purchase it.
Next, if you plan to fish in the Helsinki area, you will need to purchase the Helsinki and Espoo City Angler Permit.
This license is issued by the cities of Helsinki and Espoo, and while you can purchase them separately, it is also possible to buy them as a set.
Fishing information provided by the City of Helsinki can be found here:https://www.hel.fi/en/culture-and-leisure/outdoor-activities-parks-and-nature-destinations/fishing
Fishing information provided by the City of Espoo can be found here:https://www.espoo.fi/en/sports-and-nature/fishing
It seems that fishing permits can also be purchased at the City of Espoo Service Point, but I recommend purchasing them online for convenience.
The online payment page is here:https://kalakortti.com
However, this page is quite difficult to navigate. Depending on the device or settings, the text may become garbled or the page may not display properly. Additionally, since the page is only available in Finnish, those who do not understand Finnish will need to use a translation tool to make their purchase.
Here are the fishing license pages for the Helsinki and Espoo areas:Helsinki:https://www.kalakortti.com/luvan_tilaus/shopdisplayproducts.asp?id=8&cat=Helsingin%20vieheluvat
Even when accessing these pages, it is common to encounter garbled text or confusion about which license to purchase. Therefore, I will provide a screenshot guide to explain which licenses you should purchase.

If you visit other regions or areas, additional licenses may be required, and in some cases, licenses may only be available to local residents.
This page does not cover the details of other areas, but I plan to provide explanations in the future.
