Stay Permits in Finland:
In Finland, Non-EU/EEA students need a student residence permit. Once you receive
your official letter of acceptance, you can begin the student residence permit application
online and visit the Finnish embassy or consulate as part of this process. Start your
residence permit process as soon as possible, so that you can receive your permit in
good time before your studies begin. After your graduation, you can apply for an
extension of your residence permit to look for work or start a business.
