Question: self-employed person changes to employee

Post by somequest » Wed Aug 20, 2014 11:13 pm

I'm a self-employed person (toiminimi) from outside of EU. Based on my business, I got A-type residence permit (1 year) in 2013. This year, I have got the second A-type residence permit (1 year).

Well, I have nursing certificate. Now, I have an opprtunity to find a job and to sign a one-year contract. After 1 year, it is possible to continue. If I sign this contract, I have to change my residence permit.

Certainly, I want the A-type residence permit. But I wonder if I can still get A-type residence permit, or unfortunately a B-type residence permit. Does anyone have the experience on this issue?

Thank you in advance!

What does B have to do with it?
As he persisted, I was obliged to tootle him gently at first and then, seeing no improvement, to trumpet him vigorously with my horn.

I don't get your question. Are you going to employ someone or be employed by someone else? If you are employed with 1-year contract you will most likely get A-type. Do some readings on migri.fi will help. You can also try to call maistraatti, will find better help there

Sorry, original title is wrong. I mean I'm going to be employed, not to be self-employed any more. I wonder if I can still get A-type.

According to this document, the type of residence permit based on employment depends on nature of the job. My guess is that you have to work full-time (regular working hours 37.5 per week), and a contract that is open ended, or 1-year contract that is very likely to be extended.

Because finland is a try hard, you will often encounter the wool ball that seems knotted and requires more attention.
