Hello,
Has anyone here had their residence permit type changed when applied for the extension?
I have had type A for the last 3 years, unfortunately, I need to renew my visa every year, in the last one Migri’s decided to switch my visa to type B despite the decision of the te-office that says extension for type A. I am going to appeal, but I would like to know if someone has been through a similar situation and what was the outcome of it.
It’s quite frustrating because I’m within a few months of being able to apply for a permanent visa.
Thanks for your attention.

You need to tell more information in order to get answers! I believe you came to Finland as a student, right? Did you complete your studies before getting type A residence permit?
If you have not, then the reason for switching you back to type B permit is because you are still a student and have not graduated! So what is the situation of your studies, completed or not? And for the last 3 years that you had type A, was it with same job you applied?
