I am going to be 30 years old on February 2020 and I have to go army on January 2020, So While joining the army, if you are still under 30 then you must go. But if you are a student and if the army is going to disturb your studies then it is possible to be exempted.

Yes, I think so. You age out of the requirement when you turn 31 as far as I know. Do you have some legit. reason for not doing the military service? You could possibly substitute it for non-military civil service as well.

Hi ot this message from the message from the finnish defense forces when I tried to inquire about it.


Hey,
Thank you for your message. Conscript service must be completed no later than the end of the year in which the person turns 30 and must begin no later than the year in which the conscript turns 29 (Arms Act § 28). In the case of those who have received citizenship, we always consider the actual possibility of performing the service within the above-mentioned information on a case-by-case basis
