About the Service

InfoFinland is a multi-language website providing vital information to people planning to move to Finland and to immigrants already living in the country. The website also helps authorities with multi-language communications. 

InfoFinland offers users reliable information in their own language about moving to Finland, work, studying, housing, education, health, family and leisure activities. The information is being continuously updated.

The InfoFinland website is responsive. It is easy to use with various devices, such as smartphones and tablets.

Use of the website is monitored using cookies. Read more on the page Data protection.

InfoFinland contains information about the services of several municipalities. The links to the municipal websites can be found in the menu of the website and on the Cities page.

The InfoFinland website is maintained by the City of Helsinki. The InfoFinland editorial team is in charge of updating the sections Moving to Finland, Living in Finland and Information about Finland as well as the information on Helsinki, Espoo, Vantaa and Kauniainen. The editorial teams of the other member municipalities are responsible for maintaining their own municipal websites.

The contents of InfoFinland are constantly being updated, and we strive to keep the information up to date. The City of Helsinki is not liable if there are errors in the information on the website or in links leading outside the service, for example for technical reasons.

The Finnishcourses.fi service for finding Finnish and Swedish language courses is a part of the InfoFinland service.

InfoFinland is funded by the state and partner municipalities.
