You don't have a "visa". You have a students' residence permit.
I said *READ* the http://www.uvi.fi pages - especially the part about family concerns you.

And yes, you might want to change it, as you can then work without restrictions for example, and you can register as a permanent resident of a city rather than a temporary, so there is a big difference as well.
