Citizenship application 2025

[TUserFin]

What if I do it like this: Submit the application and current income based on saving. Not mentioning about my past entrepreneur.

After submitting the application, submit the entrepreneur information separately, this way the system would not put the application to the 23 months queue?

You will probably get into serious mess. Most probably system knows that you were enterpreneur, they have access to all registers.

I mean apply it without the entrepreneur, but right after submitting the application, submit this info as an additional information.

Anyone on same boat?

My application went into progress 3 months ago, after one month got one additional request about incone clarification and since then 2 months, no decision is made yet? What is wrong with Migri? I called and they said generally, just wait patiently.

Do not really know what to do, than waiting. So frustrating.

You can find my post in previous pages. Almost 3 months after additional request was issued by Migri (answered within 24 hours). No decision made yet.

Hello! I have a question regarding processing time when you click on savings. I have a stable job in Finland along with EU blue card and have applied for a Finnish Citizenship. I have assets in stocks and Finance instrument portfolio and I thought it is mandatory to report current income. Apart from clicking on the option that my income is from gainful employment, I clicked on Family assets and added the details of my Finance portfolio. I did not realize at that time but now I think my application has become complicated and might be in long queue. Anyone clicked on this option while applying and got decision in short queue? Do you think I ended up in the Long queue? Really anxious about this, any insight will be highly appreciated.

Me too, I called them few times and it does not help anything. I think it really depends on the officer who processes our application.
What was your request about? I got requested about income in the past.
The person who processed mine digged really much into income in the past and now she did not even reply anything

I feel like they just open the case and put in the corner and open another one... Either we meet the requirements or not. I don't get why we wait again on second stage too long.

and as I said, it really depends on who processes your application as well. Some are super efficient and make decision fast, and some can be bias. It is really up to them. I know a person who processes mine, and I do not even want to say. I was about to call lawyer to ask for help, but lawyer said in this stage, they can not do anything because the processing time is still under the limit. Nothing we can do rather than waiting. Sometimes we can wait up to 1 year in stage 2.

Why would they need to ask your past income if you have already declared it in the application?

Well, my past income was small and they pointed out that it is not enough. They asked me how and why I supported myself. I answered everything and it has been 3 months.

Do not ask me why they asked. Idk. I think they have right to suspect and ask anything they want and let us wait as long as it does not reach 31 month yet.

I managed to get hold of an Ylitarkastaja and migri is currently working with applications submitted on Dec 22 for the 31 month queue, whereas they reached June 23 for the 23 month queue.

Hopefully you’ll get an answer within the next couple of weeks, meanwhile enjoy your Midsummer.

Today I finally received the decision.
22.12.2022 - Visited Migri with my kid.
12.06.2025 - Application moved to second stage. No information request.
19.06.2025 - Received positive decision.

It was a very long and stressful journey for me.
