Spouse Visiting on Schengen visa

[Prab91]

Hello,

I had applied for first residence permit (family ties) in Feb, 2023. Since it’s been long time I want to visit my husband in finland on Schengen visa. If I get a decision while I’m in Finland, would I need to come back to my home country to collect it or can I collect it in Finland itself.

Please help.

You will have to return to your home country.

If your in Finland while making decision you can collect your RP card in Finland ( you have to inform immigration that your in Finland)
