Thanks everyone in this group, I got citezenship today on basis of enterpreneurship. I submitted my application on 4th of July 2023. It took 23 month and 1 week to get to the stage 2. As I knew from this forum that it will go into processing after 23 months for enterpreneurs, I requested all updated papers from my accountant since the begginig of the company a week ago and attached them. I also took a screenshot from Vero that I paid all taxes on time. As a result, processing stage lasted today 2 hours without additional requests.

All the best to others who are still waiting and feel stress as I felt. You will also get to this stage, and all the stress will be in the past for you soon!

Note

If the applicant’s income is based on business activities, the following documents must be enclosed in
the application:
• extract from the Register of Companies dated less than six months ago
• profit and loss account and balance sheet for the most recent financial period
• certificate from the accounting firm on wages paid or takings into private use

Enjoy!

One question: I applied for Finnish citizenship in June 2024. I have a toiminimi on the side, but it accounts for only about 10% of my income. The rest comes from my full-time job. My wife applied a month earlier, and her application has been in stage 2 for 8 months, but she hasn't received any updates or requests. Mine is still in stage 1.

I’m starting to wonder: Could my toiminimi affect the processing of my application or make it slower? Many of my friends with similar expert visas have already received their decisions after 9 months (they have only a full-time job).

I was past an entrepreneur, but now jobless, does this also put me to the 23 months queue?

Most probably yes

Thank you. I plan to put current likelihood to saving and past likelihood to company. Did you do it this way too? I was hoping not to be put to the long queue because it's in the past, hm.

Congrats, I wonder if I put past entrepreneur, do I need to provide financial statement for the whole time that the company was active or only the most recent?

Congratulations . By the way, wanted to know that those who are doing Wolt delivery under their toiminimi, what kind of document they should attach to their application to make it complete? Is income statement and balance sheet enough!!

No idea, honestly. But I attached every document possible from the list above (I have Oy) from the time I started the company.

Thanks for your reply. If anybody knows please share. Thanks in advance
