Finns Party opposes Satonen’s proposal to exempt specialists from re-employment requirement

MINISTER of Employment Arto Satonen (NCP) has floated the possibility of making an exemption for international specialists from the tighter criteria the government is set to introduce for work-based residence permits in an interview with MTV.

The Finnish government is set to adopt stricter rules for work-based immigration by stipulating that foreign workers will have to leave the country if they fail to re-employ themselves within three months of the end of their previous employment.
