Re: Deportation and residence permit precedence

Nothing will happen on Finnish side. They don't care about his military duty in Belarus. Only serious crimes can lead to deportation. Such an answer is not helpful since you do not understand the questions raised. This part of the question is not about a deportation initiated by Finland, it is abou...

Re: Deportation and residence permit precedence

My son is studying for his Master's degree in Finland (residence permit type A). However, due to complicated reasons I will not go into specifics here, he will likely be charged as a conscription evader in his home country (he has Belarusian citizenship), which is a criminal offence in both countri...

Re: RP on the basis of intimate relationship

I have a couple of questions related to the resident permit on the basis of intimate relationship. I can provide almost all of the information they asked for in this application except the few points that are kind of making me confused. Me and this person from Finland have been talking online for a...

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

We have been looking into moving to Sweden but it looks like the waiting time for my US wife to get a residence permit is just too long (a year or more). So we're thinking of a backup option; moving to Åland instead. My understanding is that if we move to Finland, I will get residency right away (a...

Re: Options after cancelling of visa by spouse

Migri actually has precedents for deporting parents even when the children are Finnish citizens. According to Migri, one parent is enough. Your friend is a woman so hopefully Migri will be more considerate but I don't think the law guarantees anything. https://yle.fi/a/74-20017404 This is a quite m...

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 😅 Just want to clarify: the DECISION came after 3min not the PROCESSING stage after 3min. (?) It is about the decision. Migri now grants citi...

Re: Rent a stairclimber

This is the kind of thing I would want to buy and keep :D and it looks like you can get one for 60-70€ from K-Rauta, Puuilo etc. But my last move was from a place with a lift to a place with a lift, so the nokkakärry I bought isn't a stairclimber. I see you can rent one for 12,40 a day inc VAT from...

would you recommend buying a washing machine secondhand, or is that more trouble than it is worth?
It can be cheaper.

What means of transportation do you have for a washing machine?

Re: Question about laundry room vs. drying room

Limiting your choices this way might not be smart. Financially, buying an own washing machine would be cheaper than paying 50 Euro more per month in rent. Shared washing machines with a rental system tend to be only provided by apartment rental companies like Sato or Lumo that also don't require an...

A different approach is a long thin vent cut into the window frame itself.
Another approach is getting the air through the windows of a double-glass window, small openings at the bottom of the outer side and small holes (that can be closed) at the top inside.

Re: Applying in Finland? - RP Intimate Relationship

even though this seems like a wasted opportunity for Finland to receive more tax revenue from me. During the time where you officially reside in Finland, you anyway have to report to Vero and might have to pay taxes on it. You have to report your worldwide income to Vero. If your parents gift you $...
