Finnish immigration services are reporting big improvements in their migration processing with a more streamlined service in order to plug a shortfall in workers.
As well, the Finns have increased monitoring of new immigrants to alleviate public concerns over letting in the wrong people. The updated system is all part of a scheme by the Finnish government to streamline and better control migration in general. As of 2024, work-based residence permit applications have been processed in an average of 23 days, a significant reduction from the 55-day wait in 2023.
Specialists with a high level of expertise and previous experience and a monthly income of at least €3,600 can now receive permits in as little as 9 days. Student residence permits are now issued within 8 days, down from the previous average of 36 days in 2023.
New system ‘doesn’t mean we have to compromise security’
‘Improving processing speed doesn’t mean we have to compromise on security. We have bolstered cooperation with other countries to ensure that risk factors are identified during the process,’ said Director General Ilkka Haahtela.
One year after beginning the new, more automated post-visa approval monitoring, the Finnish Immigration Service has withdrawn 1,200 residence permits in cases where conditions were not being met. The system now checks if immigrants, including students and professionals, continue to fulfil their permit requirements, such as study progress and income levels.
‘Automation has enabled a broader and more efficient monitoring system, particularly for profiles with a higher risk for labour exploitation,’ said Haahtela. This automated system, introduced in 2023, has since processed nearly 9,400 permits and selected 2,359 for closer scrutiny. The Finnish Immigration Service plans further expansions to automated monitoring next year, targeting work-based permits to ensure consistent compliance with permit requirements.
Not all immigrants are the sami.
Russian spies (from Muslim areas) can easily beat their immigration procedures.
The Finns are asleep at the switch.
We have some spare haitians they can have.
Finland, Finland, Finland....the place where I want to be....

Why be in such a hurry? Plenty of time. Volunteers available who love their country and want it done right.
Do they like reindeers?
Roasted.

Drum roll and high hat for the Lapp!
You’ve got Finns to the left, Finns to the right, and you’re the only bait in town.
"THAT'S RACIST..!
This is BS. Any American who would try to immigrate to Finland would be immediately rejected. This is just the excuse they use to get low IQ savage uneducated Muslims and Africans to sate the white guilt of globalist politicians.
Migrants! That’s always a -great- solution! /s
A bit off topic. I recommend seeing the movie “Sisu”. Don’t steal gold from a Finn.
“During the last desperate days of WWII, a solitary prospector (Jorma Tommila) crosses paths with Germans on a scorched-earth retreat in northern Finland. When the Germans steal his gold, they quickly discover that they have just tangled with no ordinary miner. “

Why would they reject someone from the U.S.?
