Citizenship Application 2020

[petbek-125]

Hey,

Does anybody have a good explanation of the 4 years vs. 5 years rule?

"You have the required language skills and strong ties with Finland"

What is meant in practice with strong ties to Finland? Should it be a property? Or will permanent work be enough?


I've been in Finland for 5 years, the first two of which were with a B permit. It ends up being 4 years overall. I am wondering if I take YKI test now and pass it, will I be able to apply for citizenship?

Also, does it make sense to apply in advance, assuming that in 11-12 months of the application being in a queue, it will be 5 years overall?

I can send you a long answer with the law and the discussions in the parliament and the bill from the government, but you will get super bored readin (not everyone is interested in law, thats something i learnt the difficult way by boring the hell out of many people). So i will just give you the punch line forget about the five years, four years residence satisfies their requirements.
your second question
Once you passed the four years, I advice you to apply as soon as possible, because you are eligible after the four years. The waiting is super frustrating and can take a year or so. so the sooner the better. I dont think you can pass yki that easily though, unless if u studied well already.

obviously the person who makes the final decision to introduce a new Finnish citizen isn't the same with the one who closes an application case in the system would you mind briefing your background from a very high level so we could use as a reference?

[parrraxitamoan]

by the way, for those who are impatiently waiting. If you check the statistics by migri at
https://statistik.migri.fi/index.html#d ... &start=608
and filter the result by decisions per month for citizenship applications, you will find the number of decisions they produce monthly is between 600 - 800 (translate to 150 - 200 weekly and, 30 - 40 decisions daily, sounds like the amount of work of a team of 20 - 30 people).
Base on that, I think a queue number of 3000 would be translated to something like 4 - 5 months. That is a wild guess btw.

I came to finland yr2016 with type A permit and worked in healthcare. I sent my application jan 2019. The processing took almost 1yr maybe because i changed my job 2x and i worked as an entrepreneur before. Most of my friends got theirs in less than 5months and the other one within 2wks, we came to finland at the same time. Stage 2 processing took 1 month until i sent an email then they released the decsion in the afternoon

Maybe they came in the start of 2016 with A RP and applied at the end of 2019 this way they had lived for 4 years (as per the requirement). You can apply for citizenship even your time is not completed yet and have around 3 months left. So doesn't matter.
