Tuition fees

If you already have paid the tuition fee, you should attach documents to your residence permit application to show that the fee has been paid.

If you have not yet paid the tuition fee, you should attach documents to your residence permit application to show that you have the necessary funds to pay your tuition fee and to support yourself in Finland. You cannot pay the tuition fee using the funds reserved for your day-to-day living.

If you have been awarded a grant to cover the tuition fee, attach a certificate of the scholarship from your educational institution to your application. Even if you have been awarded a grant, you must still have enough money to cover your living costs in Finland. 

If you are not required to pay tuition fees, attach to your application a certificate from your educational institution regarding the exemption. You must also have enough money to cover your living costs in Finland.
