Summary: Finland plans to tighten immigration regulations for foreign students, with the government expected to announce revised rules before Christmas. Finance Minister Riikka Purra criticized the previous government’s policies for making student and family migration too easy, arguing that this has led some migrants into economic hardship.

Alongside the policy changes, the Finns Party is launching a national campaign promoting the use of the Finnish language, emphasizing that immigrants should learn Finnish and that the language should be protected. This approach links immigration control with cultural and linguistic integration.

The proposed measures reflect a broader European trend toward reassessing and restricting migration pathways. Such shifts may affect international students and countries that send large numbers of students abroad, highlighting the growing role of language requirements and integration policies in immigration systems.
