Hey guys, I am non-EU and I am studying a vocational qualification in restaurant and catering. I will graduate next year.
Once I get a job, do I apply for this permit – [Residence permit application for person with a degree completed in Finland](https://migri.fi/en/degree-completed-in-finland)
I am quite confused because it says that “degree completed in Finland.” Not so sure if a vocational qualification counts as a degree.
Thank you!

You should be fine with using that one. I recommend reading the guidelines though
Did you read any of the text past the title?

Ask migri, don’t trust your residence permit questions to strangers
