Description language: English

Coverage: All Finland

About this service

Description

Niuvanniemi Hospital's examination and treatment ward for minors who are particularly difficult to treat (NEVA) functions as an addition to municipal healthcare in situations where specialised medical care or child protection units have not been enough to secure the physical and mental well-being and safety of others and the minor in question. Minors are admitted to the ward according to a plan based on an urgency estimation. A doctor's referral is addressed primarily to the chief physician in charge of the ward. The referral must also include information regarding the initial duration of commitment of expenditure. The minor must have a valid order to be treated in a closed ward when they are admitted to NEVA ward. The treatment period at the Niuvaniemi Hospital NEVA ward lasts even over a year due to difficult-to-treat mental symptoms. Mental examinations of a minor offender ordered by the court and treatment of minors admitted to involuntary treatment by National Institute for Health and Welfare are conducted at NEVA ward.

Examination of impediments to marriage

Before marriage, an examination of impediments to marriage must be carried out. This ensures that no impediments exist for the marriage.

Published by: Digital and Population Data Services Agency · Government organisation

Description language: English

Coverage: All Finland

About this service

Description

Before the marriage ceremony, you must request an examination of impediments to marriage. This ensures that no impediments under Finnish law exist for the marriage. You can only be married after the impediments to marriage have been examined. Impediments to marriage include * minority * a valid marriage or registered partnership * too close a family relationship * family relationship created by adoption. You should request the examination of impediments well in advance, but no earlier than four months before your marriage date, as the certificate is valid for four months. At that time, you must also indicate which last name you will use after the marriage ceremony. If one of the spouses is a foreigner, you should allow several weeks for the processing the matter. If intend to get married abroad, place an order with us for a certificate for a foreign marriage ceremony.

How to use it

* Request the examination of impediments to marriage in the Digital and Population Data Services Agency’s online service. You can also fill in the PDF form and mail it in or hand it over in person at a service location. * You will receive the certificate after we have processed your request. You do not need to bring a certificate to the marriage ceremony if you are married by an officiator from the Digital and Population Data Services Agency. If the officiator is from another organisation, hand the certificate over to them before the marriage ceremony. * If you are getting married outside Finland, order a certificate of the right to marry abroad in the online service.

Conditions

The examination of impediments uses data from the population information system. If your or your spouse's marital status is not recorded in the Population Information System, we will need a certificate of your marital status. You can obtain this certificate from the embassy, consulate, or registry office or similar authority of your country of citizenship. More detailed instructions are available on our website. If neither of you is a Finnish citizen, we will also need an official certificate that you have the right to get married in Finland. We can process a Finnish, Swedish or English document. If the document is in another language, you may also need an EU translation form, a translation carried out abroad by a certified translator, or a translation by an authorised translator in Finland. We will request a translation from you if necessary. A translation is not required if the certificate is issued by an EU member state, and it includes a translation form pursuant to an EU regulation.

The exemption may be granted for a maximum of five years from the start of employment in Finland, provided that the employee’s pension provision has been arranged elsewhere. If the exemption cannot be granted, the foreign employer must arrange pension provision for the employee in Finland in accordance with the Employees Pensions Act (TyEL) for the entire duration of their employment in Finland. For more information regarding the insurance obligations of foreign employers, please visit our website: etk.fi/en > International affairs > To Finland from abroad > Employee to Finland.

Exploration permit

The exploration permit holder may examine structures and composition of geological formations on their and another’s land (exploration area)

Published by: Finnish Safety and Chemicals Agency (Tukes) · Government organisation

Description language: English

Coverage: All Finland

About this service

Description

Under the exploration permit, the permit holder has the right to examine the structures and composition of geological formations in the area referred to in the permit for one's own land and another's land (exploration area). The permit holder also has the right to conduct other studies preparing mining activities and other exploration in order to locate the deposit and to determine its quality, extent and usability in accordance with the exploration permit. The exploration permit holder may build or transfer to the exploration area temporary structures and equipment necessary for research activities in accordance with the exploration permit. An exploration permit does not entitle the user to exploit the deposit, but it gives the permit holder the privilege of a mining permit, which entitles to the exploitation of the deposit. The prerequisites for granting a mining permit are related to the size, concentration and technical properties of the usability of the deposit. An exploration permit is without prejudice to the property owner's right to use or govern its area.

How to use it

An applicant can reserve an area with a notification to the mining authority (reservation notification). A priority based on reservation notification is valid once submitted in compliance with section 44 and no impediment exists under Mining Act. Notification shall include a necessary and reliable account of: 1) the party; 2) the area to which the reservation of priority applies (reservation area); 3) compilation of an exploration plan and other measures in preparation for the application, and schedule. Reservation may not concern an area that forms part of an exploration area, mining area, or gold panning area or is located at a distance of less than one kilometre from such an area, belonging to a party other than the applicant on the basis of a permit referred to in Mining Act. Reservation can neither concern an area that has previously been a reservation area until one year has passed since the expiry or cancellation of the reservation decision. Decision is valid for up to 24 months from the notification. Validity length can be considered case-specifically. Reservation decision expires: 1) after deadline, 2) when an exploration permit has been applied for with the privilege, 3) if the party making the reservation submits a written notification of the matter to the mining authority. Mining authority may also cancel the reservation decision if incorrect or incomplete information has been provided in the notification or its appendices. For applying, familiarise yourself with the requirements of section 34 of the Mining Act (621/2011). Content of the electronic ore prospecting permit application form (in PDF format) corresponds to these requirements. Complete all sections and submit the application with necessary attachments. Exploration permit may be assigned to another party. Assignee shall fulfil requirements corresponding to those applicable to the permit holder under this Act. Permit holder can apply for an assignment of a permit by submitting an application to the mining authority. As concerns the assignment, the application shall contain a necessary and reliable account of the assignee and cover other matters of significance. Necessary official certificates, extracts from registers and other corresponding documents for the verification of the information presented in the application, and the consent of the assignee, shall be appended.

Conditions

The first person to apply for an exploration permit shall have the privilege. The permit application shall contain a report on all sections that are necessary and reliable for the consideration of the permit and which are presented in section 34 of the Mining Act (621/2011). If the application for an exploration permit is incomplete or lacking necessary details, an application filed by another applicant that does fulfil the application requirements provided in section 44 of the Mining Act may be given privilege. A reservation may be rejected if there are grounds to suspect that, due to the extent of the reservation area or for other reasons, the party making the reservation does not have the prerequisites or the intention to apply for an exploration permit. A waste management plan for extractive waste must also be attached to the exploration permit application. The exploration permit holder must pay annual compensation (ore prospecting fee) to the owners of properties belonging to the exploration area. If a trader is established in another country belonging to the European Economic Area and provides its services temporarily in Finland, the trader must have a Finnish business ID or the trader must be a legal person to whom national legal obligations can be imposed.

About this service

Description

Private persons must apply for a licence to import, procure, possess or use explosives precursors referred to in Annex I to the Regulation on the marketing and use of explosives precursors. The explosives precursor licence is granted by the National Police Board. The purpose of authorisation is to limit private people’s possibilities to obtain substances or mixtures that could be used in the manufacture of explosives.

How to use it

A private person can apply for a licence from the National Police Board. They can submit a signed application to a police department or deliver it directly to the National Police Board.
