In total, 1,413 seasonal workers have received a residence permit for seasonal work, and the total number of decisions is 1,502.

Follow the processing of your application easily online 

You can easily follow the processing of your application online:

  • When you apply for a residence permit for seasonal work in Enter Finland, you can follow the processing of your application in the online service.
  • If you have applied for a residence permit for seasonal work, you can ask about the status of your application from our chatbot Kamu on our website migri.fi. Kamu will check the status of your application among all other applications with the same type of matter and processing grounds. For more information, see the page migri.fi/chat1.

We can only inform the applicant of the decision. If you are an employer of a seasonal worker, you should ask you employee to inform you of the decision.

We decide applications related to seasonal work in the order they have been submitted. However, we take into account the starting date of the employment, if the application is submitted well in advance of that date. We attempt to process applications submitted for the same employer at the same time.
