thank u. i was about to burst a vain in my forehead in the waiting room and then she goes ow my god u filled in everything so good alright here is your permanent residency i was hella shook
went there and she said she would do it right now and got the decision on enter Finland 30 seconds later. how are u applying? I'm a EU citizen applying for families ties with a cohabiting partner maybe that changes things
i feel sorry for u i heard horror stories like yours but if it makes u feel any better i also heard the queue is kinda not accurate and u might get a decision at any time and not when u reach the first place. they should really make the system better though because its sometimes just way to long of a wait. wish u the best of luck
Im not sure if it has something to do, but I actually applied for two resident permits. One for family ties and one PR. The family ties went faster through and then casually the next day PR got approved.
I did that because I wanted the resident permit faster in case I would travel.
Oh for real?? I’ve lived in Finland for 4.5 years now always with my Finnish spouse and have a two year old Finnish son. Maybe I should also look into it then as I heard they are trying to change the law/requirements
Dear Fun Sir, please accept my congratulations! Welcome to Finnish life! But please, don’t get drunk. Get a bucket and go picking lingonberries and mushrooms.
the true are versatile i wanted to make some berenburg glazed mushroom's but that's sadly from holland and I'm all out but Valhalla is pretty same so might give that a shot. the biggest problem is though cleaning all those dang mushrooms
i was between 3 to 12 months or deportation lol. she like alright u got it I'm shook. now im hangover as a true fin (not yet in a couple of years after my citizenship)
I still had 3 years on my permit, but all of the changes had me worried. I had a small party to celebrate mine too. The next step for me is also citizenship. I am worried about the YKi test. Hopefully, I can take it in spring.
don't worry u got this. also got to really put way more time in learning finish its so dang hard at least my gf can help me a lot
i just thought u always need to stay for 5 or 4 years but no end date on my permit really gives me peace of mind they are planning changes but i have strong doubts they actually gonna go trough with most of them.

Welcome to the nation!
>Time to get drunk you're well on the way to being integrated I see, congratulations. next step: have a sauna. can be combined with step one.

u seem to be integrating well KIPPIS
You too! And congratulations for your permit :)
Congratulations!

I got my PR decision when the queue number was 755 so I think it is not so accurate

Where can you check the queue number?
I knew there was a reason I cracked a Lonkero just now.
Congratulations!
Conga-rats! You've mastered to play by Sääntösuomi-rules so you're rewarded for that! We'll make a decent Finn out of you yet!
> Time to get drunk Remember to eat at a grilli too or you ain't a real Finn!
does kebab count?
I guess. Not optimal for drunk binges, but it'll do in lack of superior drunk food
Congratulations buddy. :) Got mine last year. Gives some sort of a sense of stability.
kiitos
Well done! I’m eligible in 3 years but I think the new government will be extending that time. 😢 Congratulations!!
Time to get drunk tells that you are already Finnish
Congratulations!
kiitos
Congratulations 🥳
kiitos

Is is still 5 years to get a permanent residency?

Oh for real?? I’ve lived in Finland for 4.5 years now always with my Finnish spouse and have a two year old Finnish son. Maybe I should also look into it then as I heard they are trying to change the law/requirements
u should just get it as that's the same position I'm in without the kid. cohabitating partner and EU citizen
Ahh this may be where I don’t qualify then as I’m British…..
You're Finnished, Congrats!
Congrats 🍾 I hope to be in your position in 3 years.
You all ready sound like a true Finn, kippis!
I am sure this happened in real life.
ofc it did where else.
Dear Fun Sir, please accept my congratulations! Welcome to Finnish life! But please, don’t get drunk. Get a bucket and go picking lingonberries and mushrooms.
i already failed a couple of those big sad.
me and my family in law probably picked 150 plus litters of chanterelles already. so failed that one superhard
You are integrating well!
i have honestly no clue what we are gonna do with them. hangover foraging is fun though
Oh you have a treasure there! So many food possibilities
the true are versatile i wanted to make some berenburg glazed mushroom's but that's sadly from holland and I'm all out but Valhalla is pretty same so might give that a shot. the biggest problem is though cleaning all those dang mushrooms
