Permits of filming

Filming in Lapland is simple thanks to a national law called Everyman’s Right. It allows everyone free access to the land and waterways without having to go through the process of applying for a permit. Landowners permission is required only when there is need to bring motorized and/or otherwise heavy equipment to the site, or when filming is planned to take place in a private area, such as someone's backyard.

When shooting in public areas, a permit from the local police is required only if there is need for special traffic arrangements.

In case you need assistance regarding permits, please contact us.
