Pathway overview

Finland's standard employer-sponsored residence permit for non-EU nationals with a confirmed job offer, at a lower salary floor than the Specialist/Blue Card routes.

Verified via WebSearch, cross-referenced across multiple independent sources including Migri's own site: you need a confirmed job offer or signed employment contract (which may be part-time, but not a zero-hours or on-demand contract with no agreed minimum hours) and a total gross salary of at least €1,600/month in 2026 — up to 50% of which may consist of fringe benefits like a company car or employer-provided accommodation. Unless a specific exemption applies, your employer must first advertise the vacancy for at least 2 weeks and document why no suitable candidate was found (labour market test) — this checker verifies your own job offer and salary, not the employer's advertising step. First-decision processing averaged 23 days in May 2026.
