Has anyone applied for extended permit on other grounds (Intimate relationship)?
Is it possible to stay in Finland after you get married with Finnish Spouse? If you have not lived together for two years?
Thanks for the help!

No "living together" requirement if you're married at all. Apply for "Spouse is a Finnish Citizen", not Other Grounds.DrStrange1990 wrote: ↑Wed Mar 20, 2019 10:02 amHello,

So much text... I'll condense it: you ether get married and get residence permit or roll a dice with applying for other grounds. Your choice.DrStrange1990 wrote: ↑Fri Mar 22, 2019 9:34 amThank you so much for replyquillcentaur wrote: ↑Thu Mar 21, 2019 5:34 pmNo "living together" requirement if you're married at all.

https://migri.fi/en/spouse-is-a-finnish-citizen. But as you read in the beginning it is written like this "Apply with this application for a residence permit if your spouse is a Finnish citizen. Your husband or wife, your registered same-sex partner or your cohabiting partner who you have lived with for at least two years in a marriage-like relationship or with whom you have joint custody of a child is considered a spouse"
And we have not lived together for 2 years. Do you think I can still get resident permit?
Hi,quillcentaur wrote: ↑Fri Mar 22, 2019 11:20 amYou don't need to live together for 2 years if you're already married to be able to get the Family Ties RP. There is an "or" on the sentence you quoted.
Yes. And so does migri. The two years rule is so they can see you really are together. Marriage does the same in legally binding way. Husband and wife (or husband and husband or wife and wife, yay for same sex marriage) are liable to take care of each other.DrStrange1990 wrote: ↑Fri Mar 22, 2019 12:27 pmSo you mean if I get married now, I don't need to show any proof that we lived together for 2 years?
Thanks!

I guess this is a case that proves The Oxford Comma is important.
There should be a comma before "or your cohabiting partner". The two years living together only applies to cohabiting partner.
For husband, wifie, registered same sex partner, no need of 2 years living together
Scroll down to REQUIREMENTS.

1
Your spouse is a Finnish citizen.
2
Your spouse lives in Finland or is going to move to Finland.
3
You and your spouse are married or in a registered partnership.
4
If you got married abroad, your marriage is also registered at a Local Register Office in Finland.
Nothing about living together for 2 years if married.
