🇫🇮 What Happens If Your Residence Permit Extension Application Is Rejected in Finland?

If your residence permit extension application is rejected in Finland, the decision may also include a deportation order. In many cases, applicants are granted a 30-day voluntary departure period. For this reason, acting correctly and within the legal deadlines is crucial.

📌 During this 30-day period, you may:
– Appeal against the Migri decision and bring the case before the Administrative Court
– Request a suspension of enforcement together with the appeal
– If the court grants this request, you may remain in Finland until the court issues its final decision

🔹 If a Schengen entry ban is imposed
Along with the rejection decision, a Schengen entry ban may also be issued. In such cases, it is essential to appeal within 30 days. Otherwise the ban becomes final and may significantly restrict your ability to enter European countries for many years.

🔹 Possibility of submitting a new application
In certain situations, it may be possible to submit a new and properly prepared residence permit application within the 30-day period without leaving Finland. However, this is not applicable in every case and requires a professional assessment.

If you have received a residence permit rejection, are facing a deportation order or a Schengen entry ban, or are considering an appeal against a Migri decision, we assist you in evaluating your case and determining the appropriate legal steps.
