We will determine your eligibility for free legal aid on your behalf. We serve clients throughout Finland. We can arrange a remote meeting if needed. We also serve clients by email in Arabic.

According to Section 147 of the Aliens Act, no one may be turned away, deported, or returned as a consequence of being denied entry to an area where they could face the death penalty, torture, persecution, or other treatment that violates human dignity, nor to an area from which they could be sent to such an area.

Finland is bound by international human rights treaties in immigration matters. In immigration law cases, the administrative court primarily applies overall discretion. Therefore, it is important that a lawyer prepares the appeal to the administrative court on your behalf. Based on appeals prepared by lawyers, the administrative court overturns negative decisions of the Finnish Immigration Service more often.
