Pending citizenship question

[Flossy1978]

You should contact and ask them. From what I remember of Finnish stuff they often dated the stuff from when you applied. Like Kela money matters and whatnot.

Good luck!

I have a kind of opposite problem. My son is Finnish, but is also now an Aussie through me. I got told when he's 18, he won't be allowed to be Aussie and keep his Finnish citizenship if he remains in Australia. I find it weird since so many people hold dual citizenships these days, that why would Australia make him choose?

Now here is the problem. Mine will not be an issue as I'm already an EU citizen, this application is just a formality. My son is not an EU citizen (only Australian). His residency permit expires in September. I gather that we will need to renew it even though he has a citizenship application pending.

My citizenship application is pending and my passport/residence permit is expiring soon. What should I do?

You have to renew your passport and residence permit normally. The expiration of a passport or of a residence permit are not grounds for expediting a citizenship application.
