Living abroad in a foreign country is definitely a great intercultural experience, but typically brings up a lot of questions for expatriates Finland: ʺWhat is the best international school for my kids in Finland?ʺ, ʺHow do I find a job for my spouse in Oulu?ʺ or ʺWhere in Helsinki can I meet fellow expats and compatriots from my home country?” Just to name a few examples…

InterNations aim is to help you, as an expatriate, in becoming part of the Finland expat community and exploring the Finnish way of life in all its aspects: From enjoying the traditional poronkäristys to celebrating Juhannuspäivä.

Enjoy the Finland Expats Living

With attractions ranging from the historical province of Uusimaa to Finnish Lapland beyond the polar circle, Finland fascinates expatriates and globetrotters of many nationalities every year. The sizable expat Finland community is, however, mostly drawn to the country by the urban growth of Helsinki and its political as well as economic opportunities, e.g. in the electronics sector. Whether you move to and live in Finland for professional or private reasons, you’ll surely take with you lifelong memories of great international experiences and intercultural exchange.
