help! can I leave Finland when my current permit expired and the new permit is still in process?
My residence permit will be expired in a few days, and my application for extended permit is still in process.
I have no idea when I can get the new permit although it has cost one and a half months.
I wonder if I can leave Finland to China when my current permit expired and the new permit is still in process?

You will want to enter Schengen in Finland so they can see the status in the computer. In addition you need to check with the airline that they allow you to board. Since you have no return ticket they probably will be vary of you.fireflyfly wrote: My residence permit will be expired in a few days, and my application for extended permit is still in process.

Thank you. By the way, what do you mean by "be vary of" ?

If you don't have a valid residence permit airline will not let you board the plane, it does not matter your new permit is under processing.
