Important note: Government fees are paid directly to the Finnish government and are subject to change per Migri's current schedule. Safeway Finland service fees are quoted per case — depending on case complexity, number of accompanying family members (spouse/children) and permit track — and include the entire dossier, translations and representation with the Finnish authorities (Migri, ELY-keskus, Business Finland). Approval is at the authorities' discretion — we do not guarantee 100% success but our track record on well-prepared applications is strong.
