Here on a work permit— can I sell handmade goods at a market?

[Souverian]

This is a surprisingly difficult topic to research. I work in IT and have a work permit (not as a specialist) related to that. However, I also make jewelry in my spare time, and occasionally think about doing a table at one of the many handicraft markets that happen, if only to sell some of the large treasure trove I’ve accumulated over the years I’ve been doing this hobby.

However, I can’t really find anything about whether this is allowed on my permit type. I’ve found some info from Vero about how much money you can make before needing to apply for VAT, but nothing yet from Migri about whether there’s a limit at which I can do this before it counts as entrepreneurship. Anyone been in a similar situation?

” You can be an entrepreneur and pursue trade, if you hold a residence permit. However, the reason why you are residing in Finland must still remain the same as when the permit was granted”
