Work Permit in Finland- Dependent spouse

[sunshine123]

Hi All,

This query is concerning the workpermit in Finland for my spouse.

I hold a work permit for Finland and am to be married in few months from now, will my spouse be then eligible to work in Finland as well. Or will he require to apply for work permit again

Looking forward for a reply soon as any suggestions in this regard will really be helpful

When your spouse applies as your dependent, they will get a family residence permit visa. If such a visa, then your spouse can work.
I suppose the marking on the visa mentions if one can work in Finland. For eg. A or B type visa (visa has the number starting with A or B)

What is the citizenship of you and of your spouse?

Sorry for the late response...

Both me and my Fiance are Indians..I still have another query regarding this, as my work permit has been processed by my company from India, will it have to be the same for my fiance as well, or can I apply for it independently once married??

Thanks for all the help
