The Finnish Immigration Service aims at deciding on citizenship declaration by 1 June
The Nationality Unit of the Finnish Immigration Service will concentrate on deciding on citizenship declarations from former Finnish citizens and their descendants between February and May. The aim is to decide on all citizenship declarations for which necessary further information has been received in time by 1 June 2010. The concentration on declarations will naturally affect the queue of citizenship applications during the spring.
