Hey , usually it’s for work or study or family reasons 😊

So the methods I have seen is just along the lines of:

-Have a job secured over there and process a work permit.
-be married to someone who is a Finnish citizen for 2 years.
-Be an entrepreneur in Finland (signing up company name, other legal parts, have a business plan).
-Be a student to a full time course in Finland.

And there are some other versions too, like sponsorship, "special circumstances" and technical situations to be in that could let you have a residence permit, but it gets a little crazy.

A good thing to do is learn the language as I live here and I have been told more than a few times that I don't have enough Finnish language skills so I am now working on them so then I have a better chance at least too.

I have my partner who I am with here, so I have had support from them and moved here to search and sit and wait whilst I wait for my permit application to go through, which is allowed, being able to sit in Finland whilst you wait for the decision.
