Work in Finland

In order to move to Finland legally through employment, there are several aspects to consider. Some professions involve special documents and procedures, there are also special requirements for workers depending on their country of residence, and in some cases a work visa must be requested by a Finnish employer.

The employment-based immigration procedure is not difficult, but the requirements are quite strict, and all the steps must be completed in exact order. This is one of the main reasons why we recommend seeking help from an immigration specialist at our company.
