Good to know

Finland is an EU member state, so the EU free-movement route applies rather than third-country short-stay rules.
The reviewed official source describes an unconditional stay of three months but does not establish a true maximum stay; longer residence rights can arise under free-movement conditions.
The official German portal states that EU citizens acquire permanent-residence rights after five years of uninterrupted lawful residence.
Third-country 90/180 limits, passport-validity rules, funds, onward-ticket conditions, EES biometrics, and employment prohibitions were not applied to this EU-citizen route.
