YKI Finnish (Intermediate, 3-4) for Finland: what's actually required
YKI Finnish (Intermediate, 3-4) is a required language qualification for Permanent Residence pathways in Finland, based on a single verified rule sourced directly from Migri (Finland). This page reflects that one rule — not a general claim that YKI Finnish (Intermediate, 3-4) is accepted everywhere in Finland. If your visa category, licensing body, or provincial/regional authority differs from what's described here, the real requirement may not match this page, and you should confirm directly with Migri (Finland) before relying on it. You can still choose YKI Finnish (Intermediate, 3-4), or any other exam, manually for your own application — a recommendation on ELAREH is never a restriction.
