I'm quite glad I found this forum since there's so much info online I feel completely overwhelmed lol. My Finnish hubby (now fiancé!) and I want to move in together. He is a Finn living in Finland and I am from a Non-EU country (Israel). We got engaged during my last visit in Finland and we honestly want to get things going, I'd like to immigrate there and start my life there. However I feel like I'm completely lost in the sea of information, and everything seems to be EXTRA difficult for Non-EU members, understandably so.
So now onto my questions;
1. Can I apply for a permanent RP based on us getting officially married? I've read somewhere I need 'proof' that we've been living together or that we know each other for long. But we've gotten to know each other online, and we spent approx. 2 months together, I'm not so sure what kind of proof I'd need other than us legally marrying.
2. Can I exit Finland to my home country while waiting for my PR to be approved? I'd like to get married, but while waiting for my visa to be accepted, to still work in my home country and save up more money. I do have enough but, considering all the fees and stuff I'd need to pay (translation of legal documentation, apostile signatures etc) it'd not hurt to save up more.
3. Can I open a Finnish bank account & get a health insurance in Finland without having a Finnish Social Number/ID? If not, how do you get by when you need just your usual visit to a doctor, to get prescribed meds [e.g birth control] etc?
I'd appreciate any light being shed on these matters
