Apply for a residence permit for seasonal work if you are coming to Finland from a country outside the European Union and your work is seasonal work in a certain field. Jobs in farm work, forestry, crop production or tourism are examples of seasonal work that requires a residence permit. On our website you can find a detailed list of seasonal jobs (only available in Finnish).
You can have a seasonal job in Finland for no longer than nine months during a period of twelve months. If your job is not seasonal work or if you come to Finland to work for more than nine months or if you live in a member state of the European Union, do not apply for a residence permit for seasonal work but apply for a residence permit for an employed person.
You can find more detailed information about residence permits for seasonal work on our website.
