Hello,
My permanent resident card will expire soon and I need to renew it. Any advices on how long the process will take and if I can leave Finland while waiting for the new card?
Thank you.

For me, it was the fastest process in the history of Finnish processing!Jaffa_Nutella wrote: ↑Sun Nov 27, 2022 2:16 amHello,

It took Migri 2 days from the appointment to take a decision to renew the card, and it took 2 days to print and deliver the card!
Apply online, if you log in to EnterFinland using the bank credentials, then may be no need for the appointment in Migri.

Re: Permanent resident card renewal
There is no decision to be taken since the residence permit is permanent.
This is different from residence permit extensions where Migri has to make a decision whether the extension should be granted, just like getting your Finnish passport renewed is a lot faster than getting a decision on a citizenship application.

May I ask if you needed to submit an application to renew the permanent resident permit card? I've searched on migri and they mentioned that I don't need an application form.
Regards.

I meant "order" to get a new card.
It took Migri 2 days to order a new card.

Otherwise Migri officer will do it during the appointment.
