Re: Options after cancelling of visa by spouse
Migri actually has precedents for deporting parents even when the children are Finnish citizens. According to Migri, one parent is enough. Your friend is a woman so hopefully Migri will be more considerate but I don't think the law guarantees anything. https://yle.fi/a/74-20017404 This is a quite m...

Re: Automated decision experience for Citizenship applications
Cannot imagine how 3min decision after submission is possible, considering how long many are waiting. That automation sounds either really good or really bad 😅 Just want to clarify: the DECISION came after 3min not the PROCESSING stage after 3min. (?) It is about the decision. Migri now grants citi...

Re: Rent a stairclimber
This is the kind of thing I would want to buy and keep :D and it looks like you can get one for 60-70€ from K-Rauta, Puuilo etc. But my last move was from a place with a lift to a place with a lift, so the nokkakärry I bought isn't a stairclimber. I see you can rent one for 12,40 a day inc VAT from...

Re: Question about laundry room vs. drying room
Limiting your choices this way might not be smart. Financially, buying an own washing machine would be cheaper than paying 50 Euro more per month in rent. Shared washing machines with a rental system tend to be only provided by apartment rental companies like Sato or Lumo that also don't require an...

Re: Applying in Finland? - RP Intimate Relationship
even though this seems like a wasted opportunity for Finland to receive more tax revenue from me. During the time where you officially reside in Finland, you anyway have to report to Vero and might have to pay taxes on it. You have to report your worldwide income to Vero. If your parents gift you $...

Re: Unemployment benefit cuts take effect on Monday; monthly support may drop by nearly €400
- The jobs you mention, are not disappearing, they are done by the same workers that otherwise would be exploited by corporate greed for the benefit of foreign shareholders, now employed by the state instead of in those instances the state paying 2 to 3 times the amount of unemployment benefits per...

Re: Applying in Finland? - RP Intimate Relationship
Would the Finnish Residence Permit based on an intimate Relationship still work for me? I am US citizen and my girlfiend is an Estonian citizen, though she is currently studying at university in Finland. I am 20 and she is 22. I have a remote job that pays over $12,000 a year and we can easily prov...

Re: Cheap ways to ship to Finland?
I want to send some goods from United States to Finland. I wonder if anyone know an cheap way to transport some goods to USA to Finland. Shipping time doesn't really matter... Sending a moving box as parcel with the United States Postal Service might work. If you (or someone you know) plans to visi...

Re: Unemployment benefit cuts take effect on Monday; monthly support may drop by nearly €400
Could there be a solution that we have a minimum wage that would be enough to cover all basic needs (this includes for example, but is not limited to: food, clothing, healthcare, housing, energy, transport, communication, leisure). Finland already has this, through the labour market subsidy combine...

Re: Non-Finnish speaking Brit possibly moving to Finland - Any advice....?
The short version of my story is that I met my Finnish girlfriend while living abroad. We returned to the UK in February & subsequently found out we were expecting a baby (due in November). Since then things haven't really worked out & she has returned to Finland while I am still in the UK....

Please assume for the discussion, that the unemployed are not willful unemployed, and that a big part of the people affected by these measures are a...
