Residence permit application forms

The residence permit application form may be submitted at a Finnish diplomatic mission abroad or to the local police in Finland. The handling of permit issues in the police departments of some of the larger Finnish cities has been concentrated at a separate department for immigration affairs. For example, all residence permit applications in Helsinki are submitted to the Immigration Police at Malmi.

The form must be completed and the necessary appendices arranged before submitting an application to a Finnish mission or to the local police.
