Finnish government takes important steps to ease barriers for skilled immigration, but concerns remain

The Finland Chamber of Commerce has praised the government for its recent decisions to ease barriers for skilled immigration, despite the challenging economic environment. However, the organization expressed concerns over additional cuts to vocational education, weakened integration support, and the continuation of the "three-month rule" for departure after job loss.

The government has committed €1.8 million to streamline the entry process for foreign talent and an additional €1 million to support international recruitment efforts in collaboration with cities.
