Thanks for the info buddy. I think I will also wait until they ask for more info. I had indeed heard of decisions being made faster but everybody seems to be waiting for a much longer period right now.vachter wrote: ↑Sat Aug 18, 2018 3:43 pmWhen your application goes on 2nd stage, they might ask you and then you reply. No need to do it now.
I applied in the middle of February and got on 2nd stage on July 23. Got request for travels during the time since I applied and also about finances while I was a student few years ago. Replied July 25th and still waiting for decision. Things seems to go really slow at the moment.

Re: Finnish Citizenship application 2018
It has started processing, next day after i wrote the above. Also on 17th August I received a request for additional information asking about my current and past finances, and about my travels after i submitted the application. Also requested my original passport to be sent to their office, perhaps because i renewed my expiring passport after i submitted the application.

Re: Finnish Citizenship application 2018
I appeared for identification on 16.03, and was asked for supplements on 17.08. Supplement request was submitted on 21.08 and got positive decision on 22.08. Good luck all of you for your applications!
Re: Finnish Citizenship application 2018
You should have informed them before the trip. In my case I informed them by submitting a message in EnterFinland. I also attached the latest payslips eventhough they did not ask. When my application moved to stage 2, I got the decision on the same day.Random Dude wrote: ↑Sat Aug 18, 2018 10:39 amOn a different note, I made a short trip (4 days) to Russia after my application, do you think I need to/should inform about this trip? Or should I just update them if they ask me anything?
Re: Finnish Citizenship application 2018
We got a positive decision today 27/8. Identified on 13/3. Application moved to 2nd stage this afternoon( I checked at noon and it was still in 1st stage) and got the decision shortly after that. Good luck to the rest!
Re: Finnish Citizenship application 2018
I'd keep it updated all the time with latest travels and payslips. As you can read in this forum, people who update it get faster results.

Re: Finnish Citizenship application 2018
Been on here before, had described a first failed attempt at getting Finnish citizenship. Upshot of that attempt: the time I'd spent in Finland as a teen wasn't counted toward my total residence time, as I'd been here on a diplomaattilupa then.
This decision didn't strike me as very consistent with the letter of existing law, which states that time spent in Finland from age 15 onwards is counted towards total residence time. Finnish citizenship law doesn't specifically state which "lupa" categories are excluded, for one. Also, few if any non-Finnish 15-year-olds have any say about the visa status under which they reside in Finland (so why even start the residency clock at age 15). Nonetheless, decided not appeal the decision - an appeal would have cost money, and by the time the appeal would have been decided upon, I would have been eligible without my residence time as a teen anyway.
Here are the relevant facts for my second attempt: Italian citizen. Have worked and resided in Helsinki for the past four years. YKI keskitaso passed, YKI ylin taso passed. Submitted my application August 16, 2018. Document check August 31, 2018, during which it was confirmed that this time round, there's no question I fulfil the prerequisites. Let's see where my second attempt at acquiring Finnish citizenship goes.

Re: Finnish Citizenship application 2018
Looks like a generic message, essentially saying "Your applicatiion has been submitted and is waiting for its turn to be processed. We will contact you, do not contact us, unless the expected processing time has been exceeded", with links where you can check the state of your own application and the expected processing times.lovely_boy_vt wrote: ↑Sun Sep 09, 2018 6:28 pmI received this email today from Mirgi:
