I came to Finland on tourist visa but now I want to learn Finish language. So, if I take admission in any institute to learn Finish language then am I eligible to apply for student visa? Or can I get extension in my tourist visa till the period I am learning Finish language here in Finland?

Kindly reply me.

Regards

have you checked the Finnish migration authority's website? It has the answer to most questions you might have.

for example, this page about getting a study visa says,
"You must submit your residence permit application to a Finnish embassy in the country of your legal residence. As a rule, it is your home country. You may not submit your application to the diplomatic mission of a country other than Finland. Please also note, that you cannot submit your application to an honorary consulate. You may not send your application by post; instead, you must visit the embassy in person."
