Family member living in Finland

These pages have information for a person who lives in Finland (sponsor) and has a family member living abroad who plans to move to Finland.

Here, you will find quick answers to your questions about the role of the sponsor and the obligations of the sponsor. We have also put together a list of useful links for you.
