How to apply for visa extension in Finland?

The validity period of a visa means that under normal circumstances, the latest time of legal entry into the country of application and the time of legal residence will be marked on the valid visa we apply for, which means that as long as it is within this time range, it is legal to go and stay in the country. On the other hand, if you fail to arrive and leave the destination country within the validity period and stay period, it is illegal to stay.

People in Finland need to extend their visas by the following methods.

1. If you need to extend your stay, you should apply to the immigration authorities of that country in advance within the valid stay period allowed by the visa. If there are sufficient reasons, an extension may be granted. If it is not approved, you must go back to your country to apply for a legal entry visa, and then you can legally go again.

2. If the applicant has not applied for an extension during the stay period, and the validity period and stay period of the visa have expired, and I have not left the country, then I must apply for an extension to the country I went to with the corresponding valid certification materials. So as not to be punished as an illegal resident.

Consequences of failing to go through the extension formalities in time when the visa expires:

Generally, sovereign countries will punish illegal residents accordingly. In serious cases, they may be fined, detained or deported. In more serious cases, they will never be allowed to enter the country again. Therefore, returning to China on time within the validity period and stay period of the visa is a criterion that we must abide by and a problem that we must pay attention to.
