Hello.. I have some questions and all answers will be appreciate:)

1- I have 1 year A type residence permit from family ties. Also, I am a master degree student. We are planning to move England. I want to continue my studies as well. However, if I leave Finland for coming here I need residence permit since I am not a EU citizen. Also, this time Finnish Police department told us they will give us 3 year A type RP. My husband will not be working but if I apply alone before 3 months from the expire date will they give me still A type and 3 year?

2- Or another option if I apply for student what will happen?

I wonder is there any way to apply fixed term RP and get 3 years? Is it possible to study in Finland without RP only with visa?

Sorry but you are confusing me. You are saying that you are on a family RP, and that your husband is moving for work to the UK and won't be renewing the RP in Finland? Somewhat silly to do before renewal, but if the die has been cast, then you really have no other options. The thing is, if you are dependent of the husband's RP, as family, you get what he gets. He doesn't get, you don't get either.
If you apply on your own merit (student) then you will get 1 year B-permit like students do, and you are required to show the 6000 euros, health insurance and advancement in studies.
One aspect to consider is that as an non-EU you need to shell quite hefty tuition fees in the UK, and what amount of your current studies would they accept in transfer...

Visa is for visiting (up to three months), Residence Permit is for residing.

I wonder and asked if it is possible. I will not be a student in Finland. In case I want to continue studying in Finland, I need to apply visa maybe. Form GB they give 6 months visa fro non-EU citizens. Is it possible to study in Finland with visa? I will come 2 days and go back London..
Also I need transportaion moving companies and prices in Finland?

A visa allows you to visit, a residence permit allows you to live there. If you are going to live in Finland (eg for studying), you need a residence permit.

Hank starts a sentence with "sorry"? Prehaps they will make a man out of him!
