A straightforward question about max conscription age, 29 or 30

Post by lopisodim » Sat Dec 10, 2022 11:33 am

Hello,
I've read so much about this topic and I am still confused. Been living in Finland for 11 years, working for 7. Now eligible to apply for citizenship after learning Finnish.

I turn 30 years old in 2024.

Straightforward question: What month exactly is it possible for me to get citizenship so that the military service is no longer a requirement.

If I get it in say June 2023. Am I still eligible? December 2023? January 2024? or December 2024?

It's so interesting I talked with 99% of people with a concern / wish to avoid the army service. I'm SO excited and looking forward to getting citizenship so that I can serve. Just literally searched youtube for some female training etc. and am just more and more excited haha such an interesting experience one can have in their life time! But maybe I will change my mind after doing it. We will see.

I'm sure it's exciting when you're like 18 or 20. But at the age of 30, already working for years and with tons of responsibilities, it's simply not practical.

Valid point!! I currently do not have much responsibilities so yeah, maybe that's why. Also, just talked with my colleague (Finnish) about this. Her point is about gender haha It's like women (seem to) experience many unfair disadvantage so why would a woman want to reject this "right" to avoid army serve! As a woman, I find that convincing but the curiosity still outweighs!
