IMPACT – HIGH
Finland has extended the deadline for residence permit applicants who need to prove their identity at a Finnish consulate or service point in order to have their permit processed.
Key Points:
Background: According to the Ministry for Foreign Affairs, reception activities for residence permit applications have gradually resumed since June 16. The extension marks the third time since the beginning of the pandemic that authorities have extended the deadline for identity appointments. It was initially extended to August 31, and again until Oct. 31.
Analysis & Comments: The extension should provide relief for applicants who have been unable to book an appointment to complete their application process. The response to the COVID-19 pandemic continues to develop, and Deloitte will provide additional updates as information becomes available.
