If your husband is non-EU but is working in Finland then he will need to get a residence permit, naturally.
However, are you non-EU, too, and where is your daughter, in Finland?

Re: advice please
How long is your husband's contract in Finland?
Does he not already have some sort of resident's permit as he is working there?
I think you might be best to contact the immigration office as I am not sure on what grounds you would apply for residence, can you do it on family ties if your husband is not Finnish?

Magistrate office would register a foreign marriage of two foreigner, on which neither one is currently a legal resident of this country? -That would be a surprise to me if it can be done...desert nomad wrote: Step 1: Register your marriage.

Ok, the original question is rather unclear. She says "working in Finland" but also manages to give an impression that even the husband's application is still only in application stage. I revert my comment if the husband actually has a permit.
Re: advice please
okay my husband has been living and working in finland for the last 4 years and has a residence permit already.by the way l am really grateful for the advices
Re: advice please
my spouse is legally in finland and i dont think it would be possible to register a marriage in any country if one of the applicants was not legally in that country. and my daughter lives with me at home.

Re: advice please
Hi, how long did your husband take to change marriage status from single to married? I married to a Finnish, our marriage legally registered in Singapore, in order to update my hubby's marital status in Finland, we submitted all the necessary documents to the embassy in Singapore, there is no news from embassy or Finland after two weeks. We don't know how long we have to wait for it. Any idea?ajey wrote:Hi Guys,

Stupid husband. Does he have your fingers? The applications must be made in person from this year, so you have to do it in the Finnish embassy. What he has to provide is paperwork that he earns enough money to support you two (tax record, work contract, bank statements). If he makes under 1980 euros per month after tax, the answer is no.ajey wrote: would it be better if l applied myself than if he does..

PS. Your husband should apply to get the child money from KELA.
