On 15 October, Parliament approved amendments to the Nationality Act in its plenary session by 103 votes to 58. The proposal was adopted as outlined in the report of the Administration Committee.
The amendments revise the Nationality Act in line with the Government Programme of Prime Minister Petteri Orpo's Government by tightening the conditions for naturalisation. The amendments strengthen the principle that acquiring Finnish citizenship requires proof of successful integration into society. In addition, they further emphasise consideration of security-related risks and compliance with the rules of society.
