Another Positive Decision!

Our client approached us at a critical turning point. A residence permit extension had been submitted on entrepreneurial grounds, but due to a decline in business activity, the application was likely to result in a negative decision from the Finnish Immigration Service.

Understanding the urgency of the situation, we conducted a thorough review of the case, examining all legal and practical aspects to identify a viable path forward. It became evident that continuing with the same application grounds would not be sustainable.

Rather than waiting for the final rejection, we acted swiftly to find an alternative solution. After exploring different legal options, we advised switching the grounds of the application. A study place was secured in Finland, and we submitted a new residence permit application based on studies before the negative decision on the entrepreneurial application was issued.

Thanks to this timely change in strategy, the Finnish Immigration Service granted a type A residence permit based on studies, valid for two years, along with the right to work up to 30 hours per week. This outcome allowed the client to maintain legal status in Finland and continue building a future through education.
