Finnish Visas
Hullo all, I was wondering if anyone had ever applied for a visa at the Embassy of Finland before? If so, do you know what sort of visas they give? I know they only offer Single Entry Schengens. But do they only give them for the dates you have booked your holiday, or something like a 30 day time frame?
I am hoping to use the visa to go to Greece for a week rather then go to Finland for the two days I have booked, and there's going to be a big problem if I can't do that.

This is the second question you've posted about this matter but you've not mentioned your nationality.
Since this site is UK-based, the majority of people who post here are British citizens. Any citizen of an EU-member country has the right to travel to any other EU country without visa restriction so, if you're British, you don't need a visa for Greece (or for Finland).
The next most common group of visitors to this site are probably those from the US. US passport holders, however, don't need a visa to travel to Greece. In fact, the citizens of most countries, from which large numbers of tourists travel from, don't require a visa for entry into Greece. These include Australia, New Zealand, Japan and many other countries. See here for a full list:

If you're sure that you do need a visa, then a visa issued by the Finnish embassy is definitely valid (for a stay of up to 90 days) for any Schengen country, including Finland. It's almost certain that the visa won't specify a specific date for entry into a Schengen-member state but the easiest way to check would seem to be phone the Finnish embassy (in whichever country you made your application).
