Citizenship application 2025

[Cat87]

I have checked with them and work travel is counted towards 365 days. I am not sure what should i do, my work requires frequent travelling and i am almost at the limit. even we sent out official letters with reasoning. they said no. any ideas?

Has your application already been submitted? The FAQ section covers the option you described. It states that time spent abroad after submitting your application does not affect your residency period. https://migri.fi/ukk-suomen-kansalaisuus#asumisaika

I have the same situation and asked for clarification from Migri. Answer was simple: if I exceed 365 days total (or 90 days in 12 months before submitting application), that means I need to submit application in number of exceeding days later.

Example: if you are looking to submit your application when you reached 5 years residency, but you travelled total 400 days, you submit application in 5 years and 35 days.
