lainamuotoiseen

Lainamuotoiseen refers to a concept in Finnish law that pertains to the legal status of a person who has not been granted Finnish citizenship but is recognized as a legal resident of Finland. This status is often granted to individuals who have a permanent residence permit in Finland. Lainamuotoiseen individuals have the right to reside in Finland, work, and access certain public services, but they do not have the same rights as Finnish citizens. For example, they may not be eligible to vote in national elections or hold certain public offices. The term "lainamuotoiseen" is derived from the Finnish word "lainsäädäntö," which means "law," reflecting the legal basis for this status. The concept of lainamuotoiseen is an important aspect of Finnish immigration law and policy, as it provides a framework for the integration and rights of non-citizen residents in the country.
