Re: Applying for Citizenship 2024

How can you get a negative decision if you fulfil all the criteria? There has to be some reason for the rejection. Actually I have no idea but Migri has mentioned this in its Website. Look https://i.postimg.cc/xTLQsmBF/Screenshot-2024-05-15-at-15-51-05.png And also migri could reject a citizenship ...

Re: Moving to Åland from the US (Swedish citizen, US spouse)

I am self-employed and can do my work from anywhere in the world and I could continue that in Finland (after registering a Finnish company). You should read up on the special rules for Åland. https://www.regeringen.ax/naringsliv-foretagande/starta-bolag/naringsratt It might be possible to find an e...

Re: Applying for Citizenship 2024

You can’t claim that everyone is equal and then that it’s ok for refugees to have longer processing times. PR is not a blanket protection from deportation. If you commit serious enough crimes you will be deported. You missed the point. If the law/rules said refugees need more time, then I have noth...

Re: Applying for Citizenship 2024

Regardless of citizenship, everyone in Finland is equal, especially when you have the PR. So, I do not buy your point. The second thing is that it is not about the waiting time; it's about 2-3 years, and you need to wait without knowing why you need to wait. If you are a refugee and wait for three ...

Re: I'm new in Finland

Have you visited Nordea in person to have your identity verified? Have you visited DVV in person to get registered with them? The ID card from Poliisi is not mandatory - I was able to complete the above with passport and my application documents (and the Finnish person I'm living with). Are you an ...

Re: I'm new in Finland

Hey folks, I'm new in Finland. Just got my Nordea debit and registered the Nordea codes app. I was trying to use the code app to verify my identity in Posti and HSL, etc. However, none of those sites really let me in. There will be a page saying "don't have suitable agreements". I mean, t...

Re: Automated decision experience for Citizenship applications

Cannot imagine how 3min decision after submission is possible, considering how long many are waiting. That automation sounds either really good or really bad 😅 I think the people who applied in the last week of April will see it as more than "really bad". If they applied a few days later ...

Cannot imagine how 3min decision after submission is possible, considering how long many are waiting. That automation sounds either really good or really bad 😅 Just want to clarify: the DECISION came after 3min not the PROCESSING stage after 3min. (?) It is about the decision.

Re: Your biggest struggles after moving to Finland?

Lemon and orange peels, used tea bags and coffee grounds can be left to dry and put into mixed waste or fridge to freshen the smells. Biowaste is either useful or disgusting. No way I'd keep those at home. I wish there is a mixer under kitchen sink to grind everything. Maybe it's no illegal to buy ...

Hi people, I cant find a decent calculator to help someone understand what the net salary could look like in Finland. If someone wants to earn below net, what are the gross salary they should have?

Re: End date of RP

Which country is your wife from (or where is she travelling to for the wedding)? I am assuming it is a non-Schengen country. Depending on that, there could be a few points where there could be scrutiny. 1. Immigration in your wife'sö home country (or wherever the wedding is). 2. At the airline coun...

I have a question about my wife's situation. Her brother will have a wedding in the first week of July, and she has to go. But her residence permit's end date is 17th July. We already applied for an extension, but still in progress, and it seems she won't get it new one before she leaves. Is there ...

Re: RP what happens at an identification appointment.

If you think bringing someone with you will help, do that but make sure you are the one doing the speaking. Why? There shouldn’t be any issues letting someone else speak also. I say that because from my experience Migri prefers and sometimes insists the applicant to speak for themselves. It is also...
