The article is in Finnish. But TL;DR of what’s coming:
**How the government wants to change the status of foreign workers**
* If a person working in Finland with a work-based residence permit ends their employment, they would have three months to find a new job.
* Specialists, start-up entrepreneurs, company directors and workers who have been in Finland for more than two years with a work-based residence permit would have six months to find a job.
* If no new job is found, the person would have to leave the country.
* The government’s proposal applies to work-based residence permits, but not to permanent residence permits, family-based permits or EU citizens.
* Currently, a worker with a residence permit for an employee in Finland can change employers in the same sector for which the permit has been issued, but not in another sector.
* In the future, the same permit would also allow a worker to apply for work in sectors that have been identified as labour shortages in Finland as a whole.
* For other sectors, a new residence permit would have to be applied for as at present.
