Can I go on holiday to Finland during the period in which I have submitted an application for a family ties RP

[kissakettu208]

I'm from UK for reference
From the end of last year I always planned to use my 90/180 days to visit my partner in Finland for 2 months from Oct - Dec (I'm also going for 2.5 months from May - July, it's confusing but I strongly believe it is all within the limits as I'm using a Schengen limit calculator)

But now we are due to marry in September (I will fly over for about 4 days to do so) and I will apply for a A-type continuous residence permit as soon as we have the marriage certificate. I will apply from the UK once I've flown back after the marriage.

I'm getting mixed messages as to whether I can still actually go on holiday for the Oct - Dec time if I have an active application for a first residence permit. I would have a return ticket that shows I would be staying for less than 90 days, so I wouldn't be overstaying my legal limits, but it's just confusing me whether or not the rules about holidaying in Finland change and if I mustn't enter Finland at all until after a decision is made?

Thank you, I hope this made sense

When you stay not more than 90 days and there are at least 90 days between stays, then you are always fine.

Between your longer visits in July and October you must have at least 90 (non-consecutive) days without being in any Schengen country.

Schengen days in September count towards your 90 days for both the May-July and the October-December visits.

You are not banned from entering the Schengen area as tourist after applying for a Residence Permit, the application does not remove any rights you previously had.
