Finland's settled-status permits. The national permanent permit (P) moved on 8 January 2026 from a single unconditional four-year route to a multi-path system (fast paths at four years with an income, degree or language condition; standard path at six years). The separate EU long-term resident permit (P-EU) is available after five years and adds the right to move to other EU member states, with a language requirement from 8 January 2026.
This permit lets a spouse or qualifying partner and children under 18 join a person living in Finland. The sponsor must meet a net-income requirement that scales with household size and is higher in the Helsinki area.
These are Finland's settled-status permits. Since 8 January 2026, the national P permit follows a multi-path system (fast paths at four years with a condition, standard path at six), while the EU long-term P-EU permit is available after five years and now requires Finnish or Swedish language skills.
