15.4.2026 | In February 2026, the Finnish Immigration Service decided to partly suspend decision-making on asylum applications submitted by Iranians. The decision was made due to the changes in Iran’s security situation. Because the security situation in the country is still unstable, the suspension of decision-making continues until 30 April 2026. After that, we will assess again whether we can start issuing decisions normally.https://migri.fi/en/-/current-information-about-processing-of-asylum-applications-submitted-by-iranians
