The Finnish Immigration Service (Migri) announced on 10 February that it will host a ‘Neuvo-info’ webinar this Friday, 13 February 2026, to explain how Finland will implement the EU Pact on Migration and Asylum. The pact’s regulations—approved by EU ministers last year—require member-states to overhaul asylum screening, border procedures and return policies by June 2026.
Migri’s legislative unit will outline forthcoming amendments to the Aliens Act and new fast-track channels for corporate transferees, including digital pre-registration at external borders and revised salary thresholds for the Fast-Track D visa. Employers, law firms and higher-education institutions can register until end-of-day 11 February; slides will be emailed to participants afterwards.

Companies looking for practical support with the forthcoming changes can also turn to VisaHQ, which offers up-to-date visa and residence-permit processing services for Finland and detailed guidance on employer sponsorship requirements. Their Finland portal (https://www.visahq.com/finland/) consolidates application checklists, fee calculators and timeline forecasts, making it easier for HR teams to adapt to Migri’s new fast-track channels and digital border procedures.
For global-mobility teams the session is a chance to preview deadlines for system integrations with Enter Finland, updated document templates, and training plans for HR staff who file large volumes of work-permit extensions. The agency is also expected to clarify transition rules for pending applications and the interaction between the pact’s border-asylum procedure and Finland’s new six-year residence-requirement for permanency.
Organisations unable to attend live should monitor Migri’s resource library, where a Q&A summary will be posted next week. Questions can be submitted in advance via Webropol; Migri encourages employers to flag any issues related to seasonal-worker rotations or posted-worker documentation.
