Extend visa duration

Post by lovehf » Thu Nov 16, 2017 5:54 pm

Hi all!
I have an issue. I came to Finland with a visiting visa to take care of my wife, she's Finnish citizen.
My visa will soon end up this December but I want to stay longer to take care of my wife cause her health is not good. My question's can I stay in Finland to wait for the decision of RP or I have to go to my home country and wait for the result? Is there any possible way to extend my legal staying in Finland?
Thank you very much !

If your RP application is being handled, I think you are allowed to stay in Finland until the decision has been taken. I would suggest you go and ask the police.

You shouldn't really make serious plans based on what you've read on anonymous forum

You can wait here. It is legal. See FAQ 11. http://www.migri.fi/our_services/faq/residence_permits

Visa is for visiting, Residence Permit for residing.
