Overview
The government of Finland announced plans to expedite
entry measures for students, researchers and people in
managerial roles. The government will begin to issue a long-stay D
visa sticker by the nearest Finnish diplomatic mission once
eligible applicants have received an approval notice for a
residence permit. The applicant will then be permitted to travel to
Finland with the D visa sticker serving as entry permissions. As a
result, the foreign national can begin working while the residence
permit card is being delivered.
What are the Changes?

in order to allow eligible foreign nationals to enter the country
faster.
