Authorities in Finland have announced that long-term D visas will be granted to researchers, business executives, students, and their family members.
Sauli Niinistö, the president of Finland, announced the reforms of the nation's immigration laws on December 20. The new adjustments, according to the release, are intended to simplify the immigration process and significantly support work-based immigration and education. This has been verified by a statement released by the Interior, Labor, and Economy Ministries.
"The Finnish Immigration
Service issues a D-visa in connection with a positive residence permit
decision." "In this way, those who have received a residence permit
can travel to Finland faster than at present: they do not have to wait for the
residence permit card to be delivered abroad, but the visa sticker attached to
the travel document at the Finnish embassy shows the right to enter the
country," it stated.
If their resident permit card has been stolen, lost, or expired,
residence permit holders living abroad may also be eligible for a
D-visa. This encourages starting your studies and doing your research, as well
as starting your work on time. Additionally, it makes hiring professionals simpler and increases the nation's allure.
"The approved bill also
includes an amendment to the Aliens Act, with which the Ministry of Foreign
Affairs will in the future grant a temporary residence permit to young people
from diplomatic families arriving in Finland up to the age of 20," it
stated.
According to the release, young members of diplomatic families had, until now, needed to request an extension of their immigration office residence permit after reaching 18. Authorities in Finland stated that some information system improvements necessary for the use of this type of visa will not be finished until spring 2023, even though the changes would go into effect on December 22.
