The Road Map for Finland

 

The Roadmap: How to get settled in 6 steps.

Moving to a new country is exciting, and Finland makes it easier than most. We’ve broken it down into 5 steps so you can get settled, handle the paperwork fast, and actually enjoy student life:

1. Housing and Community - Find a place and connect with other students, even without a Finnish guarantor, you will need your rental agreement when applying Finnish ID - Get your Finnish ID and credentials online. This unlocks access to banking and healthcare.

2. Banking, Home Insurance & Connectivity - Set up a bank account, home insurance,  phone, and internet without the usual runaround.

3. Healthcare & Benefits - Register for Kela and student healthcare so you’re covered from day one.

4. Social Integration - Join student orgs, language cafes, and events to make Finland feel like home.
