A flexible metal foil laminate sheet wherein a polyimide layer comprises a polyimide laminate having a three-layer structure in which thermoplastic polyimide layers are formed on both the surfaces of a polyimide film; metal foil layers are heated and pressed against both the sides of the polyimide laminate; and the thickness of the thermoplastic polyimide layer is 100% or more of an average roughness at 10 points on the surface of the metal foil which contacts the thermoplastic polyimide layer; and a method for manufacturing the flexible metal foil laminate sheet. According to the present invention, there can be manufactured the flexible metal foil laminate sheet in which a necessary and sufficient adhesive force is present in an interface between a metal foil and an insulating layer and which is excellent in heat resistance, chemical resistance, electrical properties and the like.
