Petition Started on May 4th 2021

Reform Finnish Immigration Service

The goal of this petition is to improve Migri's system and service procedures, which has caused a lot of difficulties, stress, and pain. This must change NOW! A streamlined and friendly immigration service can help Finland fight for the best talent in the world and respect those who seek to contribute to Finnish society, and those who need safe migration.

#ReformMigri invites our petition's co-signers and the general director of Migri for a panel discussion about the urgent need to reform & improve Finland's Immigration Service and how this goal can support national competitiveness and a diverse & inclusive future for Finland. Watch the panel discussion video recording.
