Applying for non-military service
Kuvaus
If conviction-related reasons prevent you from performing the military service, you may apply for non-military service. The period of non-military service is 347 days and the service begins with a four-week training period at the Civilian Service Centre. The rest of the service is performed in work service at a service location which is useful to society and which you obtain.
After accepting the non-military service application, you will be called to service during the year when the application is approved or during the two years following the year of approval, unless you are granted a deferment. You can affect the time of performing the non-military service.
