🇫🇮 Finland · Permanent Residency
Permanent residency and golden-visa paths: eligibility, required years, investment thresholds, and official checklists.
Permanent residence in Finland is handled by Migri. Rules changed in 2026, so applicants should verify the current residence-period, language, work/income and permit-history requirements directly before planning around a filing date.
- Do not rely on old four-year summaries; use Migri’s current permanent-residence checklist.
- Permanent residence is separate from Finnish citizenship and has different consequences.
- Absences, permit type and public-order issues can affect eligibility.
