Finnish authorities announced updated requirements for issuing residence permits through amendments to the Aliens Act.
Key Points:
Additional Information: Some applicants may still apply for a first residence permit in-country, such as family members of Finnish citizens, children born in Finland and family members of a student or researcher who are applying for a residence permit for study or research. Officials stated that each application will be examined individually.
BAL Analysis: All residence permit applications submitted before Sept. 1 that have not yet received a decision will have the new requirements applied. The government hopes to prevent evasion of provisions on entry into the country more effectively and enhance the reliability of identity verification to prevent situations of abuse.
