Military Service Commitment for New Male Citizens 40+

[jperickson]

As I contemplate applying for Finnish citizenship, I wonder what are the commitments a male makes when receiving Finnish citizenship at age 40 or later? I am having a hard time finding information about this. Not at all discouraged, but I think one needs to know before applying. The only info I can find seems to assume you were able to complete some service before age 30.

You will not have to do conscription since you are over 30.

In case of war you will be liable for military service until you are 60.

(A large part of the men Ukraine currently mobilizes to fight at the front are age 45-60.)
