Residence permit for managers, specialists, and trainees transferred within a company to a Finnish office, renewable for up to 3 years with work authorization.
Finland's Internal Transfer residence permit enables movement of managers, specialists, and trainees from non-EU parent companies to Finnish offices outside the EU ICT Directive. Candidates must demonstrate required professional qualifications within their corporate group.
The permit lasts up to three years for managers/specialists or one year for trainees, and is renewable with a pathway to permanent residence. Processing takes fourteen days. Online fees are €530 for initial applications and €230 for extensions. Spouses may work unrestricted, and family members can obtain dependent residence permits.
This visa is ideal for managers, specialists, and trainees at multinational companies headquartered outside the EU who need rapid relocation to Finland's operations.
