What Kansalaisuuskoe asks of you

What Migri has not published yet

  • The number of questions.
  • How the test is taken: Migri has not said whether it is on paper or on a computer.
  • The time limit.
  • The pass mark.
  • The study material itself, due at the turn of 2026 and 2027.
  • The test dates and how to register, due at the same time.
  • The fee, if there is one.
Nothing on this page fills those gaps in. When the authority publishes, this page changes; until then, a figure you find elsewhere for these is someone’s guess.

These questions are written by Belong Nordic from the subject areas the amended Citizenship Act names and the official sources behind them, not by Migri, and not from study material, because none has been published. The real test will not look exactly like this, and these can contain mistakes.

That was ten. There are 7,100+ more.

335 of them are Finnish, across eight areas we grouped ourselves from the subject areas the Citizenship Act names, with a mistakes deck and spaced repetition. There is no mock and no pass line: Migri has published neither a length nor a pass mark, and we will not invent one.

What score do you need to pass the kansalaisuuskoe?

Migri has not published one. It has also not published how many questions the test asks or how long it runs. It has said the test is multiple choice and that the free study material, written by the University of Helsinki, comes at the turn of 2026 and 2027 together with the first test dates. The first tests are planned for spring 2027.

Who has to take the Finnish citizenship test?

Applicants aged 18 to 64 submitting a citizenship application on or after 1 March 2027. The test is taken in Finnish or Swedish. Migri has said exemptions may be granted in some cases for reasons of health or disability, or for other very serious reasons.
