Let me first explain my situation here. I am a foreign girl who has been studying in Finland for 4 years.(with B2) I have been living with my Finnish BF for more than 2 years now. I am thinking the possibility to change my residence permit B2 to categoryA. I was trying to ask when I was in Police station getting those application forms and info. That person told me I will possibly get A5. Is that so? What does it actually mean by having A5? Any social benefits come after? Kela benifits, for example? What about student allowance? I am so new to all this.. Gush

Yet the key question is how likely I will be granted A5? I am a student and my BF is studying too. Plus, our 2 years of living together is in Finland not before my arrival to Finland. So so....will that be a big problem?
Kind of urgent issue. Please share out opinions and advices!!
