Employment and Visa Pathways

The student visa in Finland allows for part-time work and can be extended for job-seeking purposes. International students can work up to 30 hours per week during their studies and full-time during holidays. After working for four years, students become eligible to apply for permanent residency (PR). This framework provides an easy transition from studies to work and long-term residence in Finland.
