Unfortunately yes, processing times vary a lot by permit type. Work-based permits have been taking 1-6 months depending on the case.
I applied through EnterFinland and it has been 4 months. Migri says it is still being processed.
Unfortunately yes, processing times vary a lot by permit type. Work-based permits have been taking 1-6 months depending on the case. You can check current processing times on migri.fi. If you applied for a first permit and your employer submitted their part, the process is running - there is not much you can do to speed it up.
Common mistake
Good to know
Make sure your application is complete - missing documents are the most common reason for delays. You can add documents through EnterFinland even after applying. If your current permit is expiring while waiting, apply for an extension before it expires and you can usually continue working in the same role.
