A visa on basis of marriage

Post by Fin123 » Tue Jan 20, 2015 11:38 pm

Hello

I have lived in Finland for two years now on "B" visa.

Now I am going to marry to a Finnish national. My question is that after marriage I will get "A" visa. will I get 4 years "A" visa or 1 year ?

You'll get residence permit, not visa. Using proper terms helps finding the relevant information.

Visa is for visiting, Residence Permit for residing.

Sorry for using visa instead RP

I have already lived 2 years on B which is equivalent to 1 year of A RP

Even then you think that I will get one year A status RP

Oh, and this is incorrect. 2 B years count as 1 ONLY in matters related to the residence period requirement for the citizenship application.
Every case is unique. You can't measure the result of your application based on arbitrary anecdotes online.

It is not what someone thinks. It is what the law says. If you wanna know why such law is there, then I think it is to filter out con artists who engage in marriage of convinence in order to get into or stay in the country.

So, in your case if everything goes fine, you will get one-year permit, after that 3-year permit, and then permanent RP.
