The government on Wednesday submitted a draft proposal in this regard for comments and statements.
In the future, both internationally protected immigrants and Finnish citizens will require a steady income before any approval of a family reunification application.
The immigration policy would be amended so that a secure livelihood is required in situations where the applicant has received a residence permit for Finland.
Refugees approved for asylum will not require a secure livelihood as long as their applications for family reunification are sent within three months of approved refugee status.
