how long did you wait for the decision?
Two months and three weeks. I was very surprised since they told me in december when I went to the office that it could take up to two years.
By any chance, do you what was your queue number when you got the decision? 😊

Hi All,

What's the procedure to change the health center one's subjected to, based on the location?
Can I do it online? If yes, which is the website for it? If no, whom should I contact who can do the change for me?
Call the health center and let them know

Re: Citizenship Application 2023

Oh I didn’t know that. I just assumed that the queue number will show up when my application gets to 2nd stage. I also just found out that I did receive an email in that same morning saying the ”in process” stage has started and somehow a decision was already made by afternoon. Congratulations. Can...

Re: What to do after citizenship application is approved?

So I have just been granted Finnish citizenship, but what now? I know I should apply passport from the police and that I can vote in the parlament elections in april, but is there anything else that I should do? You should inform your other citizenship countries of your new citizenship. OK, interes...

Re: What to do after citizenship application is approved?

They said that they will send the card but it’s possible that it cannot reach on time. For some reason they have to send it via post and not electronically. But anyway they said also that the card is not needed for voting. Are you registered for Suomi.fi-messages? Yes, but they said in this cases i...

They told me I can vote, so I believe their word. I got the citizenship on monday (13th) and on tuesday I was already in the registry. It ...

You don't need the notification but you need be i...
