Reader’s Opinion | International experts are registered in two days

It has been possible to facilitate the immigration of international experts.

Commercial director Petri Lautjärvi raised in his opinion piece (HS 18.8.) brought up the need to speed up international recruitment by improving the registration of foreigners.

The goal of the Digital and Population Information Agency (DVV) is an even smoother Finland, which also attracts international experts. The reforms of digital identity and personal identification numbers, in the development of which DVV is involved, enable remote registration and electronic identification of foreigners.

In practice, this means that in the future, a foreigner arriving in Finland would be able to apply for and receive a social security number and the possibility to do business electronically in Finnish online services even before entering the country. These reforms, which facilitate the transactions of foreigners, require changes in the law, which the Ministry of Finance is currently preparing.

From the summer of 2022, international specialists and growth entrepreneurs and their families have had the opportunity to apply for a residence permit in the fast lane procedure of the Immigration Office. DVV also processes their registration requests quickly, on average within two days. For other employees moving to Finland and their family members, the DVV processing time is currently about two weeks. Information about the accelerated processing process, the fast lane, can be found on the websites of DVV, the Ministry of Labor and the Economy and the Finnish Immigration Service.
