Working and living in Finland – Valuable Information from A to Z

Moving to and living in Finland requires a wealth of up-to-date, trustworthy information on various aspects of Finnish expat life. Living abroad in Finland raises a lot of questions such as: ʺHow do I find the best relocation services for moving to Finland?ʺ, ʺIs there a free English language magazine in Finland?ʺ, ʺWhich international school in Helsinki should our kids attend?ʺ or, ʺHow do I obtain a work permit for my spouse at the Finnish municipality in Oulu?ʺ

Collecting all that information on working and living in Finland is quite laborious and time-consuming. Our InterNations Expat Guide for Finland aims to help you and provides you with reliable info on those topics that matter to expats living in Finland. The Guide includes information on many different areas ranging from restaurants and nightlife, to food & shopping or health-care, up to health-care. Typical questions related to expat life abroad, such as ʺHow do I write a CV addressed to a Finnish company?ʺ, will no longer remain unanswered.
