Download the application you need for your res/permit and look at the questions.

When are you going to apply for extension? Have you paid the fine?

If it's your first offense, and you've paid your fine, then I don't see why it should be held against you.

After all, the Russian/African gang members in Karjala and East Helsinki commit even more serious crimes and they never lose their permanent residence permits

I'm sure there is much lower threshold to let a student permit expire than remove one of our honored guests from Somalia. I'd guess if everything else is OK, the residence permit is likely renewed. Sure, OP was incredibly stupid. Luckily for him, the Aliens act and its interpretation is so lenient here.

Ahh.. don't get me started on that. One of the things I hate about Finland is some of its stupid politicians. They sniff racism in things like deporting repeated offenders, which is completely idiotic. I mean, if you have a guest who keeps !"#¤% in your kitchen, what would you do?

Kicking out immigrant repeated offenders and giving harsher sentences for things like rape isn't racism.. it's justice.

Police probably didnt come in his door, guards caught him and handed him to police who fined him.
Also its incident, ancient is something really old.

Why would some ask such questions about the incident? Makes me suspicious they did something or do shoplifting.... So they know what they can get away with LOL.

They ask because it can have huge effect on their application. I dont see any reason to lie under anonymity and knowing that what they did isnt nice and lying wont help.
Why you would lie when migri dont see you and probable responses are "deport your sorry ass".

He said what he did and wants know how much he @#$% up.

I think you have already had your punishment in form of fine. and you have paid it so its quite simple. There is no point to punish you again with visa rejection. there are so many people doing these offenses if they all get rejected for these petty crimes then Finland would be empty. This would be consider as petty crime like traffic signal ticket or travelling without ticket. If you do it again the fine would be double next time. You had a fine and you paid it and its done now.
Main thing is that you should not lie in your application. your truth could be appreciated. if it comes under criminal offense they ask in application then you should say yes. and if its just your first offense and you were not put in jail then it comes under minor offense. Just tell them that you will not repeat this mistake ever again and make this promise to yourself too.
There is nothing to worry about just dare to speak truth.
Good luck

It is not punishment, countries just are choosy what kind of people they allow to visit (visa is for visiting, residence permit is for residing).
