spouse visa extension of a Permanant resident

What basis do you use for the rights of the family? It might follow from the family oriented general European human rights, but you won't find support for it in the Aliens Act.

My assumption is based on EU guidelines for Non EU long-term residents

http://eur-lex.europa.eu/legal-content/ ... ERV:l23034

It state long term resident status covers family members as well and "Long-term residents enjoy enhanced protection against expulsion. The conduct on which expulsion decisions are based must constitute an actual and sufficiently serious threat to public policy or public security. Such decisions may not be founded on economic considerations".

Inside Finland Permit P is same as P-EU. So my assumption is based on that.

That page states:

"In order to obtain long-term resident status, non-EU nationals must prove that they have, for themselves and their family (if dependent):

stable resources sufficient to live without recourse to the social assistance system of the EU country concerned;"

I read the directive differently. My interpretation of that text alone is the same as Finnish Aliens Act (which implements the linked directive). The family member is not protected from expulsion before acquiring long-term residence for themselves.

Inside Finland Permit P is same as P-EU. So my assumption is based on that.

I would go search case law on Article 8 of ECHR:

Agree, but that is requirement for obtaining Permanent Resident status. In his case he already has permanent residence.
