As a foreign student in Finland, for the past 5 years every time I’d travel abroad I’d be worried sick about losing my residence permit card and having to apply for a new one wait for months before I can get back to Finland.
This changes today: it’s now possible to apply for a D visa as a student if e.g. you lose your residence permit card while abroad.
Thank you Marin Cabinet!

So it’s no longer A visa for researchers ? So does that mean that with the D visa you can no longer apply for permanent residence after 4 years ?
They need the D.
