About Work&Life Finland
Practical steps for moving to Finland: jobs, paperwork, and everyday life.
Work&Life Finland is a free guide for international professionals (and anyone planning a move) who want clear answers to "what do I do next?" We turn official rules and scattered resources into plain-language explanations, checklists, and tools you can use while planning and after you arrive.
This guide is published by Herizon. Visit herizon.io
Why this exists
Finland has great information, but it's often spread across different sites and full of acronyms. Our job is to make it easier to act: understand what applies to you, what to prepare, and where to double-check the official source.
What you'll find here
- •Step-by-step guides for job search, workplace norms, and employment basics
- •Legal and admin explainers (permits, tax card, Kela, DVV) with links to official sources
- •City pages to compare cost of living, jobs, and day-to-day life
- •Tools and calculators (tax, salary, cost of living) to sanity-check your plan
- •A glossary for Finnish terms you'll keep running into
