Finnish Immigration Service, for customers and for society

The Finnish Immigration Service makes permit decisions in matters related to immigration, asylum, refugee status and citizenship and runs the reception system of Finland. We provide customer-focused services that put people first, contribute to a well-functioning society, and enhance Finland's competitiveness. In addition to high-quality public administration, we provide specialist and information services to support political decision-making and for national and international cooperation. We are responsible for the reception system for persons applying for international protection, the detention units for foreign nationals and the Assistance system for victims of human trafficking. We operate under the supervision of the Ministry of the Interior and the Ministry of Economic Affairs and Employment.

Our goal is to run Europe’s most efficient permit services and to make the reception of people seeking protection systematic and efficient. We make forecasts and seek to constantly develop our operations. We will improve the customer journeys in immigration together with relevant stakeholders, taking a goal-oriented and comprehensive approach to the process.
