Any US citizens here who are now working in Finland?

Post by iMessedWithTexas » Tue Mar 11, 2014 5:47 pm

Hei,

I will be transferring to Finland in late June for work. I have my residency permit ready to be submitted as soon as my contract is signed. I was wondering if I will be able to submit my residency permit at an honorary consulate (preferably in Dallas) or if this must be submitted at the Embassy or Consulate (NY or LA).

The migri.fi website mentions that residency permits must be submitted to an embassy, but I have seen other sites that mention consulates are OK as well.

If anyone has already been through this experience I would appreciate some help with clarifying this.

Thanks!

"However, you should first bring your application with the attachments to the Consulate General in New York or Los Angeles or the Embassy of Finland, Washington D.C. depending on your jurisdiction."
