The Insurance Court modified the Immigration Board's decision to set the start of the residence permit from the entry date to the marriage date. The applicant, a Thai national, entered on a tourist visa before marrying her Finnish fiancé in Thailand and later in Finland. The court ruled that the one-year residence permit should commence on the day of the foreign marriage, as this marked the beginning of her de facto residence in Finland.

Suomalaisen miehen kanssa kihlautunut thaimaalainen A. saapui Suomeen 16.5.1994. Hän oleskeli maassa ensin turistiviisumilla ja 5.12.1994 alkaen hänelle myönnettiin puoleksi vuodeksi oleskelulupa, jota sittemmin 22.3.1995 jatkettiin passin voimassaolon päättymiseen 4.2.1996 saakka. Thaimaassa käynnin aikana pari vihittiin avioliittoon 22.8.1994 ja Suomessa vihkiminen tapahtui 2.12.1994. Vakuutusoikeus katsoi, että A:n tarkoituksena on ollut jäädä Suomeen vakinaisesti asumaan. Näissä olosuhteissa puolen vuoden oleskeluluvan alkamisaika 5.12.1994 oli sellainen ajankohta, josta lukien A:ta voitiin pitää Suomessa asuvana, mutta ei tätä edeltävänä aikana. Tarkastuslautakunnan päätöstä muutettiin ajalta 5.12.1994 lukien.
