Residence-permit applications submitted through Enter Finland, with a separate route for short-stay visas.

Open official service ↗Step-by-step instructions
- If you applied for a residence permit through Enter Finland, open Migri’s online-services page and follow the official Enter Finland link.
- Sign in to the account used for your application and view the processing information and messages.
- If your application is a short-stay visa rather than a residence permit, follow the Finnish mission or application-centre receipt instead.
Choose the correct application type
Enter Finland is not a universal Schengen visa tracker. Confirm which type of permission you applied for before choosing the service.
Information to keep ready
Keep your application acknowledgement, submission date, visa category and the name of the submitting office available. The official service determines which identifiers are required. Enter personal information only in that service; VisaWand does not need your passport number, login password or application reference.
If the record cannot be found
Compare the service and reference with your receipt and check the fields requested on the official screen. A technical error or missing result does not establish a decision. Follow the handling office’s help instructions if the record still cannot be retrieved.
After an update or decision
Read the actual notice and any document request, collection instruction or deadline. Passport movement, the validity of an issued permission and progress of a pending application are separate checks. Use the decision notice to confirm the outcome and next action.
Official resources
Travel-advice references provide entry and consular context. They do not supply a private application result, and nationality-specific entry advice must not be applied to every passport.
