Wow these updates are incredible! I’m from Finland and studied in an international program in Helsinki for 4 years. I remember the struggles of all of my friends who had moved to Finland to study from all over the world. I’m so happy to hear about all these changes :)

Hi Oliver, thanks for the awesome information. I've just received a positive decision for my first residence permit 3 days ago. However - just to share with you what they actually do in practice - there was still no municipality of residence registered for my case, and I can only apply for one after arriving in Finland and visiting the DVV in person. 😂

[@JherzsTV]

[@kokomjnr6663]

Hi Oliver! Thanks for this vital information. However , I have a question regarding the 4 years having to stay in finland to qualify for a permanent residence, how long can one stay out of finland in the period of four years in total to be able to qualify for the PR? Thanks in advance 😀

[@RoadtoFinnish]

That's a great question! This is the information that I found on Migri's website: "Your residence in Finland is continuous if you have resided at least a half of the period of validity of your residence permit in Finland. Continuous residence is not interrupted by absences caused by ordinary holiday and other travel or working abroad as an employee posted by a Finnish employer. If you have spent longer times outside Finland, attach to your application a written statement of the reasons and lengths of your absences."

[@kokomjnr6663]

[@orynx2835]

This is true too about EU citizens that want to study in Finland? Is it easier?

[@RoadtoFinnish]

EU citizens do not have to apply for a residence permit so you don't have to worry about this 🙂.

[@just42tube]

How about not writing falsely Student Visa in the title when you perfectly well know it is Residence Permit and in the Finnish legislation RP and visa are very different.

[@HAPPYSMILESMILE3]

Hay, May I know how is the work/job situation in Finland for Non-eu students with English language ? any work that us students can work with English languge.

[@tcb1017]

Does this mean that those hard working Finns who work hard to keep that system going that they need now to pay more income tax ? Gosh, they pay a lot already including high taxes with everything.

[@lc9098]

Hi! I am granted a student residence permit but the validity is exactly the date of the start of my studies. Would that mean, I am not allowed to travel to Finland before that date? Thanks!

[@shahinbaghdasarian7456]

Is this gonna last forever?

[@just42tube]

Using "Student Visa" and not "Student Residence Permit" is probably intended as just a click bait and not disinformation. Still, not a very respectable way to communicate about the Finnish immigration rules.

[@aniketganguly941]

Dear Oliver, May I email you in case of queries?
