The Finland Starter Kit: Everything you need to get started

The guide to embarking on your Finnish journey

You are moving to a new country - how exciting! Moving to a new country is a great opportunity, but it comes with its own set of challenges. Whether you’re relocating to Finland for work, study, or with your spouse, understanding the practicalities and culture is essential to making the transition smooth.

While your adaptability will play a key role, knowing the essential steps to navigate Finnish systems and society will give you a head start. From securing a residence permit and registering with the DVV, to understanding banking, taxation, and social security, this guide covers the critical steps to help you get started.

You’ll also find insights into housing, transportation, health services, and Finnish culture, ensuring you’re equipped to handle both the practical and social aspects of settling in.

As an individual relocating, you have enough on your plate. And we understand this struggle, as internationals ourselves. That’s why we created this eBook as a one-stop destination to all of your questions, so you can be informed and prepared to start your Finnish journey.

We wish you the best of luck as you embark on this exciting chapter - and remember, every successful move begins with thoughtful preparation.

Best wishes,
