Kuulettamista

Kuulettamista refers to the approval process in Finland for resident permits for foreigners, particularly for work related reasons such as employment or entrepreneurial activities.

According to the Finnish Immigration Service, an employer must apply for a residence permit on behalf of the employee before the employee can enter Finland. The application must be submitted to the Finnish Immigration Service, which will review it according to Finnish immigration law.

The process of kuulettamista involves several steps. First, the employer must obtain an entry permit from the Finnish Immigration Service, which will inform the decision on whether to issue a residence permit. Once the entry permit is approved, the employer must notify the employee who has been granted permission to enter the country.

After entering Finland, the employee must register their residence with the local authorities, and apply for a residence permit from the police. The application will be reviewed to ensure that the individual meets the requirements for their stay in Finland. This includes proving that they have sufficient financial resources and health insurance.

The kuulettamista process can take several weeks or months, and it is typically faster if the employer has applied for a residence permit in advance. If the application is rejected, the employer can appeal the decision to the Administrative Court. The applicant may also choose to hire a specialized immigration lawyer to support their case.
