Retaining Finnish citizenship at the age of 22

A person who is a citizen of both Finland and some other nation will automatically lose his or her Finnish citizenship at the age 22 if his or her ties with Finland have not been sufficiently close. However, citizenship will remain valid on the basis of sufficiently close ties with Finland. For further information on when contact has been sufficient, please consult the below Finnish Immigration Service information sheet:
