How to relocate to Finland from Kazakhstan and Central Asia

This guide provides information on completing the Enter Finland application form from Kazakhstan and other Central Asian countries. Please note that if you live in Kyrgyzstan, Uzbekistan, or Tajikistan, you can only apply for a residence permit at the VFS center in Astana.
Important details
  • РПВ for Kazakhstan. Note: If you only have an РВП, it must have at least six months of validity remaining. Same requirements for spouse and children.
  • In Kazakhstan, a notarized translation is obligatory for Migri services.
  • We recommend not using electronic copies of documents for translation. Instead, translate the original paper documents and then scan them for Enter Finland. This is because you will still need to present the original documents at the VFS center.
  • The interview is usually very brief. The visa center may suggest a translator for the interview, but you have the option to decline this service.
  • You can arrange for courier delivery of both the D-visa and residence permit for you and your family to any address.
