Published
The first tests are in spring 2027 in seven cities. Migri has not yet published the test dates, the booking process or the fee. Here is what is known today.
Where the test is held
In 2027 the tests are held in seven places: the Helsinki area, Tampere, Turku, Oulu, Vaasa, Kuopio and Rovaniemi. The test is taken on a computer, in Finnish or Swedish.
When the first tests are
The first tests are held in spring 2027. According to Migri's announcement, the first test schedules will be published by the end of 2026 at the latest.
Helsinki Times reports, citing Migri, that there will be six to ten test sessions a year.
How to book
Migri has not yet published how to register. Do not pay anyone who claims to sell test places before Migri opens registration.
What the test costs
The fee has not been published. A dissenting opinion in Parliament's committee report mentioned about €190 per test. This is not an official price.
If you fail
The rules for retaking the test have not been published yet. Helsinki Times reports that a passed result stays valid with no end date. We will update this page when Migri confirms the details.
