Hello there,
I have small question regards my extension of the residence permit.
Currently, I have A type permits based Working Employment for four years and which is valid till August, 2019. Since I have laid off and received KELA unemployment and General housing benefit since this summer. Thus, will I be able to extend to permanent residence permit before current residence expired in case if I can not find the proper job before applying?
Are the benefits by KELA enough to prove for income support to apply new permanent permit?
Thank you in advance.

Re: Extension of the permanent permit
Acording to Migri you cannot apply for a new permit if the conditions that granted the first permit are no longer valid and you must leave Finland when the permit expires at the latest: https://migri.fi/en/end-of-employment
Also, when applying for permanent residents the requirements must still be satisfied, so if you don't have a job you are not satisfying the requirements: https://migri.fi/en/permanent-residence-permit
For what I have understood, social services are not considered as income, and the source of income is through gainfull income, that means salaries: https://migri.fi/en/working-in-finland/ ... equirement
Good look
