In case you have received a depor­ta­tion deci­sion or entry ban deci­sion, contact us.

Entry ban decision

A nega­tive asylum or resi­dence permit deci­sion results in the obli­ga­tion to leave Finland, and an entry ban deci­sion is usually made at the same time. The entry ban may be to Finland or to whole Schengen area.
Our immi­gra­tion lawyers are expe­rienced with remo­ving entry ban related to Finland or Schengen area.

Depor­ta­tion decision

A depor­ta­tion deci­sion away from Finland is made when a Finnish resi­dence permit has already been granted in the past, but a subsequent resi­dence permit is no longer granted, or due to the commis­sion of crimes. For example, if the Finnish Immi­gra­tion Service (Migri) does not grant a subsequent permit, it may result in depor­ta­tion from Finland to the home country.
It is possible to appeal depor­ta­tion and entry ban deci­sions to the Admi­ni­stra­tive Court and request a stay of execu­tion. Contact us so our immi­gra­tion lawyers can assist you with appea­ling depor­ta­tion and entry ban deci­sion given by the Finnish authorities.

Appeal period

If you wish to appeal a deci­sion made by the Finnish Immi­gra­tion Service, the appeal must, as a rule, be submitted within 30 days of the date you were noti­fied of the decision.
It is impor­tant that you contact an immi­gra­tion lawyer promptly after such decision. 

Applica­tion for legal aid from state funds

Based on a legal aid deci­sion, the fee for legal assis­tance can be paid from Finland’s state funds. If you are entitled to public legal aid funded by the state, our Finnish immi­gra­tion lawyers can assist you in applying for the legal aid decision.

Resi­dence Permit Cancel­la­tions for Inter­na­tional Students in Finland – What You Need to Know

In recent years, Finland has cancelled the resi­dence permits of over 2,000 non‑EU students, with cancel­la­tions increa­sing sharply after legis­la­tive changes in 2022. Accor­ding to the Finnish Immi­gra­tion Service (Migri), the most common reasons include insuf­ficient academic progress, failure to pay tuition fees, and lack of inde­pen­dent financial resources. Migri also reports chal­lenges veri­fying applicants’ financial docu­ments and cases where funds appear only tempo­ra­rily in bank accounts.

When a resi­dence permit is cancelled, many students face sudden hardship: loss of housing, inabi­lity to continue studies, and in some cases, pres­sure to apply for asylum as a last resort. The tigh­te­ning of financial requi­re­ments and upco­ming legis­la­tive changes may further increase cancellations.

For affected students, the consequences are severe — but legal reme­dies do exist. A cancel­la­tion deci­sion can often be appealed, and in many cases, the deci­sion contains errors or insuf­ficient assess­ment of the student’s circumstances.
