The application fee for a student visa is 350 Euros for online application and 450 Euros for paperwork application. You can pay with cash or card at the time of application.
If your studies in Finland take longer than 90 days you need a residence permit for studies. The permit is granted for the entire duration of your studies.

If you have been granted a residence permit for studies, you are allowed to work in paid employment in any field for an average of 30 hours per week. The number of working hours can be exceeded some weeks, as long as the average working hours are no more than 30 hours per week at the end of the year.
· During holidays, for example, you may work full-time in any field, provided that your average working hours are no more than 30 hours per week at the end of the year.

If your degree requires completing internships or a diploma work, the working time restrictions do not apply to them. In other words, the weekly 30-hour limit is not applied to them if it has been agreed already while making the agreement that you will earn credits from them. If the work is registered afterwards as an internship included in your studies, the 30-hour limit will apply.
Your employer checks how many hours your residence permit allows you to work. Both you and your employer are responsible for ensuring that the maximum number of hours is not exceeded.
