To obtain a work permit, you must first apply for a residence permit (oleskelulupa). If you plan to stay in the country for more than 90 days, you must have this permit. Finland requires residence permit applications to be made in person. This means it is not possible to apply on behalf of your employee or spouse.
Applying for a residence permit for work may vary depending on the type of work you do or the type of business you own. If there is no specific residence permit application for your profession or line of business, you can apply for a residence permit for employees. If you have completed a university degree in Finland, you may already have a valid residence permit. In this case, you can request to extend this permit and apply for a residence permit to search for work.
Finland's work permit procedures may differ from some European countries. For example, the residence permit you previously received for other reasons may already include the right to work. In such a case, you do not need to apply for a work permit again.
We mentioned that residence permits to work in Finland vary depending on the field of work. This means that the state may ask you for different documents depending on your profession or the job you plan to do.
General working hours in Finland are 8 hours per day or 40 hours per week. Weekly working hours can also be arranged as an average of 40 hours. However, in this case, daily working time should not exceed 8 hours.
The documents required for the application process to obtain a work permit in Finland are listed below.
• Contract for work in Finland
• A valid passport and passport photo
• Finland residence permit
• Finland travel health insurance
In some cases, an interview may be requested in addition to the documents.
