Aland islands resident permit

Post by sijazme » Tue Jul 16, 2019 1:15 am

My wife is Icelandic citizen and I am from Pakistan. I currently have a study based resident permit from Poland which expires in December, 2019.

The Icelandic citizen wife lives on Aland islands where she works at a senior housing facility to take care of the elderly. She also owns a home here.

The Poland resident permit allows me to live Finland for 3 months with her and I am now here at her house on Aland islands.

I wish to submit a family based resident permit application here.

I would like to know the time frame in which this application is likely to be approved when submitted on Aland Islands which is part of Finland?

Is it better to submit paper application or use Enter Finland online website?

As there is no permanent Migri office in Aland, make sure you book time for the next time is available from here:

https://migri.vihta.com/public/migri/#/reservation

They have a service every 6 weeks. Next is from 28.8.

Also you can use it Turku office or any other office if you like it earlier. Apply via enterfinland as is always faster to process.

As far as documents are concerned, do we need to provide:

1. Wife's work contract in Finland

2. House ownership documents (she owns property on Aland Islands)

3. Marriage Certificate

4. My own personal income from a property I rent out in my own country

Are all of these required?

What other documents do we need to meet the criteria of a marriage couple?

Thanks

Did you read the link you were provided? This one: https://migri.fi/en/residence-card-for-family-members ? Where do you see any mention of house ownership or income documents?

For EU family member you need nothing. Only marriage certificate and the marriage needs to be registered in Finnish Population Register.

How can I sign up for EnterFinland website? It is asking for Finnish Bank login or something like that? How do I start a new marriage based resident permit application?

As a spouse of EU, Nordic, Switzerland or Lichtenstein citizen, you'll get a residence card as you don't need a permit. https://enterfinland.fi/eServices/info/europeanpermits
