If you are not a citizen of an EU state, you must apply for a residence permit in Finland.
Upon arrival, be sure to contact the police station for registration, but no later than 3 months from the date of arrival, if it was applied for already in Ukraine. It can also be issued while being in the country, but you need to wait for some time for it to be issued.
Upon arrival, register at the local Maistraatti office (population information system). Here they issue an ID number for opening a tax card and a bank account.
Never seen the Northern Lights? The Finnish Aurora is visible about 200 nights a year in Lapland. If you want to learn more about the national culture, see the beauty of nature, study the local language, we recommend applying for participation.
