I applied for citizenship in June, 2017 and got verified and a diary number was created on 22/06/2017. On 21 September I got the following email:

Thank you for using our e-service! Your application is now in Enter Finland and is waiting for treatment. You can also check the treatment phase for your application at any time by signing in Enter Finland.

You will also find the expected processing time for applications for the same reason on our website at http://www.migri.fi/vara_ tjanster / processing times. If the expected processing time stated on our site has not yet been exceeded, please wait ro.

If your application needs to be completed, we will send a request to your Enter Finland account and you will be notified by e-mail. Once the decision has been made, you will receive a notification by e-mail.

You do not need to take any action based on this message. Do not reply to this message.


I checked the status of my application on EnterFinland website and it still says that I am on Step 1: Waiting for processing. Now, what confuses me is the above e-mail. Is the e-mail just informing me about the first stage? If it is about informing me about the first stage, then why did it take 3 months for this e-mail to arrive. Is it normal to receive the information about Step 1 so late? or could it be that they have now put me in the queue and I should count the processing time of 6-8 months from this date?

Or is it that my application has moved to Step2: In progress and just it takes time to update on the EnterFinland website.

They have implemented new notification emails, for RP the same email is sent every 3 weeks, saying what is the status of your application. When will move to step 2 they don't send any notification, you will get something only if they require some other documents or you got a decision.

Okay, I finally decided to apply for citizenship after 9 years of living here... :shock: Application filled, paid and sent. My question is about the migri interview. Is it a "real" interview where they are asking about everything, or they just check the papers, passport and off you go?

There is no interview, is only about checking you identity and documents. I stayed there about 3 minutes :)

There is no formal interview, but I suspect they use those precious minutes (it lasts less than 5 mins) to test your language understanding; if you present a YKI keskitaso level 3 or 4 and don't understand when he tells you in Finnish to sit down or " so you are applying for citizenship?", I suppose they might get suspicious that someone took the test for you...
The worst part of the thing was actually waiting in waiting room to be called, there was a woman with 4 kids shouting and running around, really terrible, really testing people to the limit,she wasn't probably aware of the fact that kids should be seen and not heard.

Thanks for the info! I was just wondering why the booked time is for 30 min. when you just show the papers.... :shock: but good to know anyways. I should understand "sit down" etc. :D

If you really want to impress them, you can tell them that you are really happy to become a new citizen and that citizenship for 350 euros is such good value for money; in Austria if you want to get citizenship you have to give up your old one, pay 950 euros, plus an income-related tax that changes according in which Bundesland you live...I told them all this in Finnish, think about it, really proud.

Did everyone get a similar email before the decision

Hi everyone

Did anyone get an email with the subject written below before the application went to the second stage or it is just an automated email you get after 6 months of application because today is exactly six months when I submitted my application

@sreekanthvbandi : as I understand, they have picked up our applications and left them on the table for waiting to be processed, I mean before making decision, but in queue. My friend got the same email after 4 months since he submitted application and 3 weeks later, he got decision. step 2 moved to step 3 on the same day.

Onnea ! Is your service point Helsinki ? I heard that people in Vaasa is in huge waiting lists, but I think Helsinki apparently processes quickly.
I also applied one week later than you, Helsinki service point, sent more information about my finance and school too on 12/9.Hope that I get decision also later than you one week.:)
