Eu Citizen moving to Finland with Non EU Wife

Post by suomi2022 » Mon May 02, 2022 12:19 pm

hi there,
im an eu citizen(austria) and i want to move to finland with my non eu wife(colombian citizen).
Since I have enough funds to get my "registration certificate" this seems like a very straightforward proccess(i get the registration certificate the day they verify my identity" .

Now, as for my wife, how would the proccess go?
i know i can use my "sufficient funds" for her application as the family of an eu citizen but, what else do we need?

do we need to buy health insurace for me, for her? , for both?(we come from outside the EU so we dont have an eu healtg card).

also, i read that it takes 6 months to get her resident card? is this always the case?

thank you 🙏

You use the same info for both of you.

Planning to stay permanently (=getting a municipality of residence from DVV) you would get access to the public system. Having travel insurance is a good idea whenever travelling.
