Finland Announces New Residence Permit Fees for Family-Based Applications: Online Applicants to Save €50

The difference means applicants using Finland's electronic application platform can save €50 compared with those choosing the traditional application process.

According to the report, the €750 fee applies to applications submitted through Finland's official e-service platform. Meanwhile, applicants using other application methods will be charged €800.

The lower online fee makes electronic applications a more cost-effective option for individuals seeking residence permits in Finland, including those applying on family grounds.

The fee information is particularly relevant for foreign nationals planning to join family members or establish residence in Finland. Applicants should carefully review the applicable fee before submitting their applications.

However, applicants are advised to check the latest official fee schedule published by the Finnish Immigration Service (Migri), as processing fees may vary depending on the specific residence permit category and application circumstances.

According to the published figures, the difference between online and traditional applications is €50, making the electronic application route the cheaper option.
