Can I get married with a tourist visa of 90 days? What if I still don't have the answer of the application when the tourist visa is expired?

With my "returnee" type visa, I will be accompanied by my wife and our 3 teenage children. I am former military with tertiary degree in psychology (10+ years experience). My wife is a Phd Psychologist (with 20+ years exprience). We have strong English language skills but NO knowledge of Finn language. Putting aside all else, do you believe our tertiary qualifications/experience will help us in any meaningful way?

@forestmanzpedia

4 жыл бұрын

As far as I know degrees and graduations are generally accepted within EU countries... but not everything gets accepted. It could be that your degree gets accepted only by half, which means you can do additional work to let it fully recognize later on. That is because countries have often their own terms and conditions when it comes to various degrees. So in this case, you need inform yourself and ask Finnish agencies. In case you are an EU citizen, then you shouldn't have much trouble or none. (: I know a hungarian teacher, who moved to Germany. Her degree was only recognized by half and had to do some extra work (to fulfill the terms and conditions) to get her title as teacher accepted.

Hei Aleksi! Thank you for this video and all the others. I've been watching them for about a week and I find them a wellspring of practical information 🙇🏻 However, there is one question that is not giving me peace and I cannot find the answer to it anywhere. I thought that maybe you would know or could direct me somewhere where I could learn the answer. I'm a EU citizen, living in the UK and I have a full time permanent job at a UK company that does not operate outside of the UK. My employer allows for remote work. I would like to move to Finland and work remotely from there. Is it possible? I mean, I understand that I would have to register my residence after 3 months, and I guess that then I will have to switch from paying the income tax in the UK to paying it in Finland at the local rate. But what with the part of the tax that my employer pays on my salary? You know, my_net_pay + my_income_tax = my_gross_salary, my_gross_salary + tax_my_employer_pays = total_salary_costs. I cannot figure out what happens to the tax_my_employer_pays bit when I move, as my employer has no business in Finland and I want to remain their full time permanent (just remote) employee. Sorry, that was a bit long inquiry. I would be very grateful for any hints. Kiitos etukäteen. Moro!

Hi Alex, In a few years I will retire and wish to come to Finland. From the official information I see, coming to Finland while retired is *not* one of the options. You have to either have commitsments (family in Finland, or a job, or something like that), or you are an expat (whatever that means). So the question is: if you have no previous ties to Finland, but you do have enough income, will Finland grant you a residence permit? P.S. I live in EU.
