Good news for migrant workers in Finland! Starting June 11, over 51,000 employed migrants will benefit from more flexible residence permit rules, making it easier for them to stay in the country even after losing their job. Workers now get three to six months to find new employment, especially those in Finland who have been working for over two years or as specialists.

This move aims to tackle labour shortages and aligns with a broader EU directive. While the rules are relaxing for workers, employers now face stricter reporting requirements if contracts end early.
