Higher threshold for some family reunification

Regulations governing the reunification of some families may be tightened. A report by the Interior Ministry says it is possible that in future, people resident on the grounds of humanitarian protection may have to prove sufficient income to support their families before being joined by spouses and children.

Finland provides three types of international protection to individuals: refugee status, subsidiary protection and humanitarian protection. A refugee or a person who has a residence permit based on subsidiary or humanitarian protection has a right to get his or her family reunited in Finland. Family members who have the right to receive a residence permit in the family reunification procedure are the applicant´s spouse and unmarried children who are under 18 years of age.

Humanitarian protection can be granted to people who cannot return to their home country because of a natural disaster or conditions otherwise endangering their safety. At present, there are no income requirements attached to the reunification of the families of such individuals.

The ministry's report also proposes a project, to start next year, to evaluate housing requirements for this type of new immigrant. The intention would be to consider if a family member already resident in Finland would need meet specific housing standards before his or her immediate relatives could be granted resident permits.

Last year, Finland granted asylum to 169 people, subsidiary protection to 714 and humanitarian protection to 143.

The report will next be circulated for review and comment before any decision is made to draft new legislation.
