Processing times in international situations

The processing times for applications involving international situations are longer than our usual processing times.

International situations include, for example, if

  • you have lived abroad
  • you have worked abroad
  • you have received treatment abroad
  • you are applying for a benefit from Kela for the first time since moving to Finland.
