OFFICIAL DECISIONS

No investment, company registration, advisory service, school admission or job offer guarantees a residence permit.

Each route is assessed under its own statutory criteria. Business Finland, educational institutions, employers, Migri and other competent public authorities make their respective decisions independently. Our team prepares and coordinates files but does not issue permits or promise outcomes.

Manage the operation.
Plan the move responsibly.

The model is for candidates who plan to move after approval and actively manage their own Finnish business. Retroo Company supports the brand and operating system as master franchisor.

Experiences of families who moved to Europe

Personal accounts from families and entrepreneurs. These videos are in Turkish and load from YouTube only when you choose to play them.

These are dated personal accounts, not current immigration advice or a promise of residence or income. Older video titles may use ‘yatırımcı oturumu’ (investor residence), which is not a separate official Finnish permit category. Entrepreneur and start-up entrepreneur permits have different requirements; investment alone does not grant residence. Rules for other countries are separate.

How we support your application and move

01

CURRENT OFFICIAL SOURCES

Permit criteria, fees and processing estimates are linked to the relevant authority and dated where used.

02

NO OUTCOME PROMISES

We distinguish file preparation from eligibility, admission, recruitment and permit decisions made by third parties.

03

TRANSPARENT PROVIDERS

Direct services and referrals to Retroo, EDUCON, AVISEN or Finnance are named before you act.

04

FAMILY-AWARE PLANNING

Family members' separate applications, funding and settlement needs are considered alongside the main route.

Frequently asked questions

01Which services does our team provide directly?+

We directly provide entrepreneur-permit preparation for the active Retroo operating-business model and startup-permit preparation for founders with an existing validated project. Education, jobs and company administration are transparent referrals to the named specialist providers.

02Does an investment guarantee a Finnish residence permit?+

No. Finland does not grant this permit merely because a person invests in or owns a company. The applicant must meet the entrepreneur-permit conditions, and the competent Economic Development Centre and Migri make the official decisions independently.

03Does a positive Business Finland statement guarantee a startup permit?+

No. Business Finland assesses startup eligibility. Migri then separately assesses each founder's residence-permit application and general permit requirements.

04Can a student bring family members?+

Family members may submit separate family-ties applications. Admission, the student permit, each family application and the family's means of support are assessed separately.

05How can I contact you?+

Leave your name, phone number and email in the callback form. Our team will contact you about your request.
