Use your eyes there are a million threads explaining the process.

The most important question is: "If you get a visa, what are you go to do here?" And is your answer good enough to be granting you a visa?

Thank you for the response,

If I get the visa I'm staying as a house wife and when I already got the residence permit I work and help my husband and saving the money to move back here in my country..

I'm just curious cost some of the forums says" its easy and some are its hard"

well I really appreciate your time by posting your response

Visa is for visiting (up to three months), Residence Permit is for residing.

Getting RP is as easy as it is to prove the relationship is real and not just to get the RP.

As for Visa... the Finnish embassy stops (stopped) handling them today. The whole embassy shuts down in the end of the year. You can be sure that the Norwegians will scratch their heads with new stuff they get on their desks...

Yeah the very good thing to do is get the RP my fiancee and I already know about that the Finnish embassy of Manila are closing this year,..and Norwegian Embassy will be the one who will handle about the papers of moving there,..

Im really worried about it too I hope everything will be fine coz were both cant stand living apart again,..

And I'm so excited to see how the country of finland..

Wait what? You want to stay here so you can be a house wife? While you save money to go back to the Philippines anyway?

Sorry but 'housewife' is not a good enough reason to get a permit, being a housewife is doing nothing.. You can be a housewife in Philippines...

And you won't be able to 'save' anything here while you are doing nothing... ^

Also, for good measure, anyone saying it is easy, is an idiot.

Well not just a house wife beside i still have to adopt the place first before having some work well I already have place where to work there coz his best friend already gave me some job whenever im ready to work,..

And yeah saving money both me and my fiancee,..because he wants to live here in my country when the time we get old and have some business here since he really dont like the weather there,..but yeah I really appreciate your kindness by your response of my post,.

Sorry, I just think that it's a stupid idea to think that you will pay to move to Finland, and then save money in Finland so you can just go back to the Philippines. It just sounds really unrealistic. You can't really put 'saving money' and 'Finland' in the same sentence. But I guess you can try.

Is there any particular reason you're choosing Finland and not Norway for example? What are your husband's qualifications? I guess if he or you are nurses then you might have a chance but even then you need to apply to a subcontractor in the Philippines. With what you've written here, it's almost certain you won't get any visa and definitely no residence permit.

I think the OP's future husband is Finnish.

Maybe you should think about changing your pseudo

Point taken.

well, it's probably possible to be in Finland and save money... you don't have to forget that e.g. 1 EUR here is worth much much more in Philipines (also in a lot of other countries)

. And you don't know how much her (future) husband earns... if they could save e.g. 1000 EUR a month (this is doable) then after couple of years they will have nice sum that would mean !"#¤% here, but there you could possibly buy a nice house and start some business, you never know.
And this is interesting but can't someone get visa even though he doesn't work, when he can prove enough money in bank? Because that's how I got my RR.. (but I'm from EU). Just curious...

Save money while working in Finland ? 1000 E per month ? Please give me this magic recipe.

Life is very expensive, even if it looks like you earn a considerable amount, it all goes.
Take your pink sunglasses off, stop dreaming that you just arrive here, start working for your friend after you have RP in order, then save money and off you go to Philippines with loads of money.
