[QUOTE="tourists24, post: 6166511, member: 11490"] Finland sure has a lot of rules to be allowed citizenship in their country...... Doesn't look like they just let anyone in.....

[*] [LIST] [*] [/LIST] [/LIST] 2. Language Proficiency: [LIST] [*] [LIST] [*]You need at least satisfactory skills in Finnish or Swedish, or Finnish Sign Language or Finland-Swedish Sign Language.
