Applying for Citizenship 2024

[_User123_]

Hello, you are not one of them, there are many more people here who have been waiting since 2022. When I applied, too, the estimated date was about 18 months, then 21, later 24, then 30, and now 31. I think this is not final, they will add waiting time for several more months. I've been waiting for 27 months already. I wish you patience and a speedy receipt.

Same here, I am also waiting for 25 months. We should wait patiently. Other than this, we can't do anything. This is what I have experienced.

Same here, completed the 28 months of waiting already. I hope it comes some day

Similar story here, I am also waiting since 2022. It has moved to stage two almost three months ago, still waiting. I wonder what actually takes this long.

you checked your processing status by logging in, because often you do not receive messages about the solution, but only about the beginning of processing. I wish you patience and success.

I AM NOW FINNISH

9 January 2024 - Applied for Citizenship (was not asked to visit Migri)

15 January - Diary number received

21 October - Application moved to "Processing"
-Decision received 9 minutes later.


Background: Arrived in Finland on a tourist visa. Then applied for Residence Permit later while inside Finland.
Residence Permit A based on family ties.

Sent my citizenship application on the exact day I hit 4 years from the day I got my first RP.

Had full-time work before but currently listed as job seeker on TE.

Travels a lot but still within migri (old rules).

No interview, no other emails or questions from Migri. Only did the online application.

Dear everyone,
I am wondering about filling the application form. There is a question "Olen tehnyt muuttoilmoituksen Suomen viranomaisille kaikista muutoistani Suomessa tai Suomesta ulkomaille." Does anyone know exactly what this means? I just checked my application again and saw that I answered "No" for this question .
I hope this will not impact the processing time.
Good luck to everyone.

I was also confused about this.
My assumption is that this is about moving somewhere for a long time, i.e. a change in residence status basically. It's probably not about normal traveling. So if you haven't moved somewhere else to live during the last 4-5 years, it probably doesn't matter which answer you've selected, since there is no move to report. But I'm not a lawyer.
Regarding the moves within Finland, I don't know really. I don't think it should matter much since they should have your current address on file anyway, but I haven't moved anywhere since coming to Finland so no clue.
