Immigration to Finland
Immigration to Finland is growing, with around 200,000 immigrants, about 3.5% of the population. Finland is considered one of the best countries to move to due to its safety, stability, strong social protection, and high-quality education.
To immigrate, you must apply for a Finnish Residence Permit, depending on your purpose—study, work, business, or family reunification. With the right guidance, the process can be smooth and hassle-free, helping you achieve your dream of living in Finland.
How to get a residence permit in Finland
Business immigration
You can obtain a residence permit by starting or buying a business in Finland. To start your own business, you will need a business plan demonstrating the profitability of the company and your ability to pay your own salary. Additionally, having partners or potential customers in Finland is highly recommended.
If you do not have partners or customers in Finland, you also have the option of buying an existing company to start your business and qualify for a residence permit.
Go to College or University
Students enrolled in any officially registered educational institution in Finland that offers a diploma upon completion of studies can obtain a residence permit.
After finishing their studies, students have the right to apply for a residence permit to seek employment in Finland for up to two years. Graduates are not restricted to working in a specific field, unlike employment-based permits.
Family reunification
You can obtain a residence permit in Finland based on family ties. Eligible family members include spouses, registered partners, cohabiting partners, and children or guardians of a child under 18 years of age.
