Helsinki Expat Community for Helsinki Expats

Welcome to the Expatriates Helsinki Community!

Hyvää päivää and welcome to our community for Helsinki expats! Our private network helps you to settle in easily when moving to or living abroad in Helsinki: Get to know like-minded expatriates in Helsinki in a casual way, find reliable information and tips about expat life in Finland and meet fellow expats from Helsinki’s international community at our first-class InterNations events.

Curious to explore other communities in Western Europe, e.g. our chapter for Shanghai Expat? Or you might think of stopping by at our Hong Kong Expat community on your next weekend trip.

Make the most of your Helsinki Expat Life

"Stadi" or "Hesa" offers an exciting intercultural experience for expats, starting with cultural highlights, like Helsinki's symbol, the Lutheran Cathedral (Tuomiokirkko),, the folkloristic festivities on the occasion of Finland’s Juhannuspäivä, up to getting a taste of traditional poronkäristys. The InterNations community helps you as an Helsinki expat to enjoy your expat stay in Finland to the fullest. Our members have already come across many of the questions you’ll have when starting your expatriate life in Helsinki and kindly offer you their assistance, from ʺHow do I write a CV addressed to a Finnish company?ʺ up to ʺIs there a free English language magazine in Finland?ʺ.
