The minimum income limit for a residence permit for an employed person increased as of 1 January 2025 because of amendments to legislation.
A foreign employee who arrives in Finland with a residence permit for an employed person will have to earn at least 1600 euros per month for their work in Finland. The purpose of the amendments is to ensure that employees who move to Finland for work are paid a salary that is sufficient to cover their living costs.
