Yeah you cannot change the address online without verification (banking details or mobile verification) which foreigners do not have when they get RP. You get the RP after 3 weeks when you have received the decision. You'll need to go to Maistraatti and register -- that will happen instantly as they...

My spouse also got a permit for a year. He's Indian. He's moving to Finland in October and I'm a bit worried, wondering how he will adjust as he is lawyer by profession and heh, you cannot really do much with that degree in Finland if you don't speak Finnish/Swedish. But I hope things will work out ...

It takes about 2-3 weeks to receive the residence permit card after the application has been accepted. This is the process for us: 17.2.2017 We have received the processing fee for your application. 17.2.2017 We have received your application and it is pending. 23.3.2017 A customer number has been c...

No questions asked, our application was processed within hours. But we've been living together in india now for past one year and we together for 2 years. Our relationship was registered last summer in Finland.

My spouse's residence permit began processing today...
...and he also got the decision today!!!!!!!

I am super happy!!!!

Believe it or not, I got my decision in just one week. I'm non-EU citizen and my husband is Finnish, married in Finland and applied for RP in the end of April based on family ties via EnterFinland. Processing time seems so differ... weird. Did you apply in Finland/at Migri? (I am jealous, just btw)

I am jealous of you two! I lived my spouse in India for the past year and we thought we would be moving together to Helsinki, but that did not happen thanks to Migri's incompetences. Now I'm moving out alone next week, but he'll visit me in October with a visa and we hope by November he'll get the r...

Send all the documents that prove you two have been together. We also submitted our rent agreement to show that we indeed have lived together. Thank you so much! I've just lodged my application in my home country and now we wait...and wait :D Good luck with waiting -- my spouse has been waiting sin...

Hello! I applied 28th February this year (Interview date in my country) and still waiting for the decision currently, My husband sent an email to the immigration two days ago, and they responded that my application was still on queue and waiting for processing. I have a question; can i apply for vi...

Do they ask question about your marriage/relationship?

Got it yesterday, havnot submitted yet . There are like 25 questions and certain document. Wow. 25 questions? That's a lot. What are they asking? Also mech01, indeed just apply in Finland.

I'd wait for a couple of weeks. Probably if nothing has happened by the beginning of August, you could try calling the oleskelulupa perhesiteiden perusteella-service number (Tu, We and Th from 10 to 11)

Ugh we visited the Embassy on February 26 but EnterFinland-application was only updated on March 21, because the Embassy was extremely slow... I really hope it's the visit date that's considered and not when the info was updated online. When I called Migri, they did assure me that it will be the day...

Also Nepali_Pekka and tuktuk keep us updated about the process. This forum thread has been very useful support group for me
