Finland to Set Income Thresholds for Family Reunification by Government Decree

Key Point  

• Finland launched a legislative project to establish legally binding income thresholds for family reunification applications. 

New Rules on Income Requirements for Family Reunification 

On April 29, 2026, Finland announced a new legislative project to amend the Aliens Act and introduce government‑set income thresholds for family‑reunification applications. Currently, the Finnish Immigration Service (Migri) determines required income levels through internal guidelines.  

Government‑Set Income Thresholds 

• A new decree will set the specific amounts of euros required to demonstrate sufficient financial resources for family reunification applications. 
• This applies to family members of individuals residing in Finland with a residence permit. 
• The Ministry confirms that income thresholds will not be lowered. 

Project Timeline 

• Legislative project runs until March 31, 2027. 
• The government proposal is expected in the autumn of 2026.
