Finnish authorities have introduced an automated post-decision monitoring system for specialist residence permits.
Key Points:
Additional Information: A specialist residence permit is granted to foreign nationals who work in expert duties that require specialized expertise in Finland. The requirements to qualify can be found here. A first residence permit for a specialist is granted for a maximum of two years. The permit is valid for the duration of the employment relationship even if the employment lasts for less than two years.
BAL Analysis: The Finnish Immigration Service has conducted post-decision monitoring since 2017, and automated post-decision monitoring is already being used to monitor the permits of students and startup entrepreneurs. The government hopes to expand the scope of this system to cover work-based residence permits to combat labor exploitation.
