Hi. I graduated from my university (got my diploma) and my Resident Permit (A category) for studies is still valid for 1.5 years more. Am I allowed to work up to only 30 hours per week as before, or as I graduated, I can work for full time?
My second question is... My spouse can apply for spouse RP to accompany me? I've graduated and how would this affect her RP approval?

https://migri.fi/en/faq-students#workingStudents can no longer work without restrictions during holidays or at the times when the educational institution offers no instruction. The right to work changed when the amendments to legislation on students and researchers entered into force on 15 April 2022.
I believe you will have to apply for a different permit: https://migri.fi/en/degree-completed-in-finland
Then your spouse could apply for a residence permit on the basis of family ties: https://migri.fi/en/moving-to-finland-t ... ily-member
