Which Path is Right for You?
Startup Residence Permit
If you have a talented team and a highly innovative business idea that can scale internationally, this is the path for you.
Conditions for Approval:
- You are establishing a recently founded start-up company aiming for rapid growth.
- You must first secure a positive Eligibility Statement from Business Finland before applying for the permit.
- You intend to do teamwork to flourish your startup within the Finnish ecosystem.
Entrepreneur Residence Permit
If you are already doing business with foreign clients, have a unique business plan, or want to establish a traditional, profitable company in Finland, you should apply for this permit.
Conditions for Approval:
- You can operate as a private entrepreneur, a partner in a general/limited partnership, or a shareholder in a managerial position in a limited liability company.
- You must have a registered Business ID.
- The application process happens in two stages: first, an Economic Development (ELY) Centre assesses whether your business operations are profitable, followed by Migri processing the permit.
