🇫🇮 Finland · Startup Visa
Entrepreneur and startup visa programs, investment thresholds, and application criteria.
Finland has a startup-entrepreneur residence-permit route. Founders first need a positive eligibility statement from Business Finland, then apply to Migri; this is separate from ordinary self-employment and company registration.
- Business Finland assesses whether the startup idea is eligible and scalable.
- Migri decides the residence permit after the Business Finland statement.
- Founders should not assume incorporation alone gives a right to reside or work.
