Section 185 of the Aliens Act.

I would suspect that this is not quite related to a expired passport ... but I may be wrong. I would need to read the Bill behind the act. I would suspect this is more about illegal immigrant that has crossed the border without the correct papers.

As far as I recall, a passport expiring is not the same as expiry of a residence permit. A permanent residence grants you the right of residence on a permanent basis, the sticker just proves that right. In the case of a residence permit card, that card stands on its own right. Ask them to give you a...

The OP is wanting to know if it is legally possible as well as practically possible to steal energy from the district heating system. Nope. The heat consumption is measured at the source of entry (the meter). More usage means just more consumption. If you extend your house and include more e.g. rad...

FYI: UK, NL, Sweden, France, Portugal (these are just top 5 countries I cared to check) - they all provide a possibility to become citizen after 5 years of being a work based migrant. BTW, seems Germany just announced that work based immigrants can also bring their parents! That itself is an attrac...

I have worked with building medical applications. It is common and even critical to require full fluency in the language the app is in since these are related to human health and well-bing. Good, so we have a common knowledge domain between us. And NO, I disagree. * Front-end user applications * or...

But that's not what happens at all companies. Increasingly more the norm. I have a specific case where I wrote to a well-known pharmaceutical company all the way to their HQ on behalf of a few others, they were looking for technical testing staff (IIRC) and wanted fluent Finnish. The nerve! It was ...

If there is a Somali person, born here, well educated, speaks the language well, what do you reckon are his chances of getting his CV through against a job opening? Pretty good. If she has a degree as nurse or software developer, she will have no problem finding a job. A kindergarten teacher will a...

Your theory is easy to disprove when you look at the Somali children born in Finland who are now adults. I dislike commenting on a particular community. There are Somalis living in the US, well-working and productive. The recent riots across France, of late in Sweden, etc. show that this is a probl...

... Did you search in English? I guess it would be hard. :) Search for ' itsepalvelu hallit ' or ' TI-hallit' (tee-itse hallit) , you can find them around the country. Please be very aware of what you are doing, the rules are VERY tight on safe use. Also if you do modifications, you may even need to...

Almost all the self-service garages where you'd have a lift, they'll also have a can where you can dump the used oil.

Somewhere last decade, I got ridiculous offers for painting the whole house exterior, varied from 6500e to 15.000e. I bought the items, and then we as a family scraped down the walls, washed it, applied mold prevention, twice primer, twice top coat - the best quality paint as well. I spent the eveni...

I thought Finland had a good healthcare system Here's a diagnosis: That's not a healthcare problem, that's an illusion problem. Currently no medication against the indoctrinated feelings and thinkings. :twisted: Sorry, could not resist! ... because the nurse wouldn't stop talking over us, we couldn...

What caused the car to skid out of control? What were the road conditions like? If you can prove the weather conditions were bad (took pictures, video etc), and you can prove (how? camera) that you were driving at the speed limit, AFAIK, you could request a correction.

Finns are not some special people who hate foreigners. To understand a Finn, you need to get into his shoes. Imagine that you live for some long time among your people. You share the language, you have common past, culture, you behave predictably in different situations, you are much more comfortab...
