This rule applies to most foreign licenses, requiring exchange for a Finnish one or passing a Finnish driving test after the two-year period. Students in higher education or vocational training, if their study duration exceeds two years, typically receive kotikunta immediately upon arrival, initiating the two-year countdown. Students with study periods less than two years, or Lukio students in their first year, are generally not granted kotikunta immediately. The right to apply for permanent registration can appear immediately once conditions are met.
