The Ministry of Economic Affairs and Employment is currently preparing a report on the regulatory vulnerabilities of work-based and education-based residence permits. For this purpose we would like to hear your experiences on studying in Finland and what challenges you might have faced.

The target of the study is residence permits for students from third countries, so we ask only holders of such residence permits answer the survey. If you could take a few minutes of your time to complete the survey it would be greatly appreciated and any feedback is welcome. The first questions are for all students, questions 7-13 are for students that arrived on their own and questions 14-21 are for students arriving with a spouse or/and with children.

Answering the survey is completely anonymous.

The survey is open until the 22nd of October 2025.

If you have questions about the survey do not hesitate to contact Senior Specialist Ariann Grandell (ariann.grandell@gov.fi)
