<strong>Finland best answer:</strong>
<p><i>Answer by GerdP</i><br/>You will need to apply for a type C Schengen visa for the purpose of tourism. The visa application can be made:
• at the Embassy of Sweden in Washington D.C. (residents in Washington DC, Virginia and Maryland)

• at the Consulate General of Finland in New York (AL, AR, CT, DE, FL, GA, IL, IN, IA, KS, KY, LA, ME, MA, MI, MN, MS, MO, NC, ND, NE, NH, NJ, NY, OH, OK, PA, PR, RI, SC, SD, TN, TX, VT, WV, WI)
• at the Consulate General of Finland in Los Angeles (AK, AZ, CA, CO, HI, ID, NM, NV, MT, OR, UT, WA, WY)

Based on your nationality the other Schengen countries must be consulted before a visa can be issued. Calculate with a processing time of at least one month.
