i've been bravely wrestling all afternoon with the issues of:

1) do i need a visa to study in finland? (no)
2) do i need a residence permit to study in finland? (yes)
3) how do i get the things i need?
4) how the hell do i open a finnish bank account and deposit money in it without going there?  ::keels things::

One of the few tangible benefits of an international affairs degree is having spent four years on embassy websites... ok, it's a small benefit. Anyhow, there's a checklist on the FInnish Embassy's website (http://www.finland.org/doc/en/consular/residence.html#Students) and there should be someone at the embassy who can answer your questions about bank accounts.
