sorry, it's just me wrote:Is it really the easiest way to get your moroccan boyfriend
in Finland by first marrying him in Morocco?
And if you do that, does he have to have "secure means of support" while
aplying for the residence permit?
It's under the "Section 50 – Issuing residence permits to family members
of Finnish citizens" right? it's states there that it's not necessery...
And would he have to stay in Morocco until he gets the permit?
Or could he get into Finland before he get's it?
Is there an easier way to get him to Finland?
Job's are not easy to find and what would he study...
This thread has got sidetracked, attracting the interest of many familiar
besserwissers on this forum but not really addressing the original question. Personally I prefer to reserve judgement on most of the discussion so far.
Section 50 of the Aliens Act must be read together with section 37 of the Act and in the light of certain background information. The questioner seems to be intelligent and can obviously read Finnish or Swedish, so I would suggest reading the relevant parts of the government bill (HE 28/2003). In particular, search the text for "solmi" in order to pick up examples of "
avioliiton solmimistarkoitus", "
solmia avioliitto" and similar expressions. You can find the government bill on the Finlex database here:

At this early stage, I would say that an application of this kind would be
red flagged for the reasons explained in the detailed justifications for paragraph 4 of section 49 of the Act (even though this statute would not necessarily apply to the application). In particular, I direct your attention to this extract:
EU:n neuvosto on 4 päivänä joulukuuta 1997 antanut päätöslauselman toimenpiteistä lumeavioliittojen estämiseksi (97/C382/01). Päätöslauselmassa on määritelty seikkoja, joiden perusteella voidaan olettaa, että avioliitto on solmittu maahantulosäännösten kiertämiseksi. Tällaisia seikkoja ovat esimerkiksi yhteiselämän puuttuminen, avioliiton solmimisesta on maksettu rahaa, puolisoilla ei ole yhteistä kieltä, puolisot antavat ristiriitaisia henkilötietoja toisistaan tai se, että puolisot eivät ole kertaakaan tavanneet ennen avioliittoa.
Council resolutions of this kind are not legally binding, so none of the listed grounds gives sufficient reason for rejecting an application (which is why the
holiday romance cases happen in the first place). However, the Directorate of Immigration is clearly entitled to investigate whether the main aim of a marriage or intended marriage is to evade immigration regulations. You both have to be ready to respond to that investigation or you will unwittingly torpedo your own application.
My own view of this matter is that it would probably be best to seek a residence permit
avioliiton solmimistarkoituksessa, e.g. for six months. This gives you long enough to decide what you really want to do. On this note, I would add just one thing to the general discussion so far: chemistry is important - literally and figuratively. You must know your partner's genetic makeup (your nose will tell you subconsciously) and how your partner behaves.
Message me privately after you have looked at the government bill and followed up the background references a bit.
