Awesome! You’ve decided that you’re moving here

Maybe you’ll need help with your move, maybe you don’t. But remember; we’re here for you if you do. The process starts by simply contacting us. Then we’ll discuss your particular needs and decide how to do this together.

Here’s some things we could help you with:

  • Arrange online meetings before arrival with local education department to answer any questions you have on schooling. And once you’re here, we can visit schools together.
  • Help you to secure pre-school placements.
  • Book you an appointment to register as a resident, and accompany you there if you wish.
  • Book you an appointment to open a bank account, and accompany you there if you wish.
  • Provide you with advice and assistance in all matters concerning daily life in Finland.
