Anyone facing problems with migri contact number 0295 419 600 and 0295 419 624.
They are always busy. It seems there is no staff for responding in summer vacations for those numbers?

Now, should I try appealing this decision...or do I just wait another year and try again?
The appeal has the potential of taking so long that you'd be eligible already, and becoming eligible (in addition to satisfying the other conditions) is an almost guaranteed positive decision, while the ...

I remember I also got worried about my time abroad (I had about 6 months total but in 3 different trips of 2 months each) when applying and read this section on migri many many times. My understanding is that if you an absence between 6 months and one year, they subtract that period from your ...

The following periods of absence will not interrupt your continuous period of residence:

absences that last a maximum of one month
a maximum of six periods of absence that last 1–2 months each
a maximum of two periods of absence that last 2–6 months each
If you are temporarily absent from Finland ...

Check your own data in VRK, have you announced Maistratti that you lived abroad those last long trips? 6 months and 1 month?


Less than 1 month need not be announced, I declared it in my application voluntarily. For the less than 6 months I had conveyed to Maistraati.


Anyone know how long the ...

Thanks for the info. The country in question has no "controversies"/civil wars

Sad, but they don't care too much of your permit, look at https://verkkopalvelu.vrk.fi/Omat/Etusivu.aspx and if you don't see last 2 years marked in Finland there is nothing you can do.

Also looking at this accumulated residence period:

a) Jul 2005 to Jun 2008 (B Type permit)
b) Jun 2008 to Jun ...

This may not be so simple.
I am flabbergasted to receive a negative decision because decision said I do not satisfy the last 2 years of continuous residency for my case . Knowledgeble people PLEASE CONFIRM this and WHAT SHOULD I DO ???????????????

I have been in Finland from
a) Jul 2005 to Jun ...

Guys, I got the decision 1-2 hours after my last post! Can't get any happier! Wish you guys the best! One thing is for sure and they have speed up things at Migri, so fingers crossed you'll all get decisions soon. Cheers! :beer_yum: :D :) :beer_yum:

I became eligible on Feb 12, 2017. So that should not be the reason. What I think they send random messages to the applicants in queue to update their information. If the application is not in process then such requests doesn't mean anything.

Well I do not think all of these are random messages ...

many congratulations :)

I have been waiting since giving additional information on 12 May. Not decision yet ...

Hello guys,
Each case is different and the length of time happens accordingly. Mine case was like this:
Sep 2009 - May 2016 (B visa) = 6 years and 8 months.
May 2016 - May 2017 (A visa) = 1 year.
So it becomes:
B/2 + A = 3 years and 4 months + 1 year.
Now I tell you something, I applied for ...
