Options for moving to Finland

[cors187]

And not to forget that "he" is a "she" .
The end

[Upphew]

And this whole thread has been about how he could do that. Have you read the thread at all? No use inviting her here to Finland if she can only stay for a short while (on tourist visa).
Duh

Well, i cant say that i like your post.
You can spin it any way you want , the boyfriend needs to invite the girl so they can plan bigger.

I can't say I like your post.

They need to plan before acting. Invitation and coming to Finland without contingency plan can end up meaning deportation and ban on entering Schengen area.

Yeah, sorry. I´ve been in Finland for too long.

It doesn´t matter if the OP is planning to study or to work, inviting her here for a visit is not going to solve the "happy forever after in Finland" riddle. The only way that would help is if they would get married and want to make their marriage seem more credible by actually having met. And the OP is pretty clear on the marriage option being ruled out.

lol
I think inviting the girl to finland requires him to write an invitation for her so she can present that to the visa department.

Visa is for visiting (up to three months), RP is for residing.

So sure, if they want to meet for few months, then the visa is the way to go. I understood that the intention was to stay longer though. They probably want to see return ticket for visa though and applying for RP here might become challenging if the RP application doesn't match with visa application. And applying visa for the sole purpose of applying for RP in Finland...

OK , so the girlfriend wants to live in finland because the boyfriend lives there, if the boyfriend didnt live there ,then studying there is just an excuse to get to know the boyfriend more , he knows that, she knows that.
So regardless of the time spent , money spent and reasons why, the whole point for her to come to finland is to get to know her boyfriend better.
No need to sugar coat the thread, the boyfriend needs to use his ability to invite her so they can figure out whether doing the bigger plan is what they really want.

The OP has not expressed any interest in visiting Finland, she wants to move here.
Interesting how you seem to know better than the OP what she wants.

True. But if the boy invites her then she can be here for 3 months and fly out. Or marry during that time and end up in the suspicious pile in migri. During that time she can't work here. Studying is probably ruled out too and you should apply for the RP at your home country in any case.

awwwww, now come on , give me break.
If she wants to move here, then her boyfriend would also have agreed to this and if those 2 ideals are in agreement then he should by the definition of being the man, being the citizen in the proposed country and being in a situation to actively support her to come, should do the invitation and meet with her.
Not sure which romance novels you guys have been reading but its a cold dark life if someone throws all they have into a country,solely dependent on the partner they broke up with just after they get there.

I'm not talking about milking or taking advantage, I'm talking about helping you getting things sorted out.
I always think it is weird that people ask complete strangers for help when they have a relation with a Finn. If he is not willing to put time and effort into your problem, then I fear for your relationship.

and specially when you never met him/her before.

Well, I do want to visit Finland. But I know it will cost more for me to go there than for him to visit me here. If I go to Finland, I'd like it to be a little more long term, either by getting a job or studying there because like I said, money isn't too easy for me to get.

[Kutittaa]

There's still a big problem about funding for me though. I'd need a lot of money, like one commenter said. Unlimited funds because I can't work in Finland even if I studied there.

"Kutittaa" is known to be bit negative sometimes.

I prefer the term 'brutally honest'. Prepare for the worst and hope for the best.

As others have said, your chance of getting across the border are entirely up to your boyfriend's level of commitment. His input and determination will be the level of success that you have in attaining the ability to live in Finland. If that isn't up to scratch and he doesn't show much effort then you aren't going to be missing out on much... Your only real hope to marry if you cannot find some sort of student degree eg. as well as show the 6000e requirement a year as previously stated. You're really fighting an uphill battle here.

I won't apologise for my brutal honesty but I will throw you a warm 'good luck!' that is about the most any of us can do for you I am afraid. The rest is up to your boyfriend and if he doesn't know he better find out.
