Residence permit

Extended permit for a victim of human trafficking

If you want to stay in Finland, you must apply for an extended permit before your residence permit expires.

If you apply for an extended permit only after your residence permit has expired, you are not allowed to continue working. Read more about the right to work while an application for an extended permit is being processed.

Apply using the same form you used to apply for a first permit.
