Welcome to the Forum

A foreigner can get a permanent residence permit
(the document carries the letter P) when he or she has
been resident in Finland for four years on a continuous
residence permit (A-permit). The fixed-term residence
permits should follow each other seamlessly, without
any breaks in between. This does not mean that the
person’s stay in Finland must have been uninterrupted.
The applicant is free to go on normal vacation trips
and other travel. The applicant is required to reside
in Finland for at least half the period of validity of the
residence permit and must have a valid residence
permit at the time he or she applies for a permanent
residence permit.

Please read this PDF fact sheet

Further information on residence permits is available in
Finland from the Finnish Immigration Service and the local
police, and from Finnish diplomatic missions abroad, which
will also help in matters concerning visas. The Employment
and Economic Development Office can also provide
counselling regarding residence permits for employed
persons.
Practical instructions and contact information is available

Wow! Thank you for this prompt and fast reply. I appreciate it. And thank you for welcoming me too. I'm going to Finland soon on work permit visa.

You may wish to read up further on the matter It's more in-depth on the subject.

Thank you, Mr. Expert! 

I am working with the lawyer. It seems that depends on the kind of job you have. He said for me it is no problem b/c I am doing an acquisition.

What if a hospitality job?

I am going to be there. PM more details. I will query it and get back to  you.

Will be waiting.
