This stuff is a whole lot easier to understand if you speak proper i.e. "Churchill English". Correct: From which country did you just come? Incorrect: What country did you just come from? Correct: Which kind of music do you like? Incorrect: What kind of music do you like? etc... You can go...

You may ask these people here. http://finnishimmigrationlaw.com/ They might even give you some hint if the case is strong or not. You may ask them, but they are not from Finland. IIRC they are actually Turkish people. Also beware that anything you ask them, they will try to convince you that the ca...

Hello everyone, Is it normal for citizenship application to take more than 13 months ? I applied on june 2016 but there is no decision yet. I came in as a student and started working after graduation. They asked for supplement information on april and i replied. I feel like an outlier and that suck...

The residence permit card has to be returned to the Immigration Office in Sornainen. That's where the residence permits are managed now. No, it doesn't. You can turn it in to any police station that has a "permit services" section (lupapalvelut) while you are there handling other business...

Can someone who has experience can advise me what to do with the residence permit card after receiving the citizenship. I have been granted the citizenship and have applied the passport too and when i visited the police station, they handed back me my residence card. In the decision for citizenship...

Podzap, since you seem to have very many opinions (but less knowledge) about anything and since you are so willing to share them, how about opening your own "Podzap advises, ask whatever you want" - thread. Stop trolling other peoples' threads, OP has quite a serious issue, let her keep i...

Niin. Siis, haluat olla suomen kansalainen vaikket pysty selvittämään asioita suomen kielellä? Sulle vielä pari vuotta odotusaikaa, kunnes pystyt käyttämään kansan kieltä.

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, dear. Ei mulla muuta.

[ What you seem to be looking to describe is that Finnish courts do not award punitive damages to the injured party. It's possible to sue McDonald's for too hot coffee. However, you will only be able to recover things like medical expenses. Höpö-höpö. Don't know if they have treatment for aspergers...

I got a request for more information from migri for my application which I made in early October 2016. Is it Ok to reply to the questions in English for the sake of accuracy? Umm, no. http://www.migri.fi/suomen_kansalaisuus/kansalaisuuden_hakeminen/edellytykset/kielitaito Myös käytännön kielitaitos...

One of the core differences in civil law between England-derived countries (USA, Canada, New Zealand, and Australia) and Finland is that in Finnish law, "tort" does not exist. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tort Tort is the entire justification for the civil lawsuit system in the England-de...

This includes vero, poliisi, kela, foreign ministry, and a few others. The comment period is 30 or 45 days, I d...
