Re: Looking for beekeepers in Finland + Survey

Your survey is for honey producers. There are beekeepers in Finland who are not that interested in producing honey. They keep bees as a hobby and keep the honey for themselves, friends and family.

I have a dozen hives and I do produce honey, so I answered your survey. Hope it helps.

Re: Registering as a full time freelance - Confusion

Have you looked at Eezy
https://www.eezy.fi/en/

They can do the paperwork for you but obviously they take a percentage.
Alternatively, you could hire a bookkeeper.

Re: Registering as a full time freelance - Confusion

No. You misunderstood the previous post. The term "freelancer" in Finland refers to someone who is employed simultaneously by several employers. There is a special tax card for this. The employers treat "freelancers" like any other employee. They deduct all the tax and social sec...

Re: Moving FROM Finland To England

I would have to Google to find schools and estate agents. I don't have any personal recommendations so it probably makes sense that you look yourself.
All schools are inspected by Ofsted so it is quite easy to find information on those online.

Re: Moving FROM Finland To England

I think my neice is paying around £800 MTH for a small flat in an area where there is almost no public transport (she has to have a car) but there is a good primary school nearby. Her toddler will move from daycare to primary school next year. The rule is that the child must turn 5 years of age befo...

Re: Moving FROM Finland To England

I'm from Reading originally and still visit the area 3-4 times a year to see family. Property is very expensive to buy and rents are high. Daycare for your toddler will take a massive chunk out of your salary. House prices and rents are very high in areas where there are good state schools (postcode...

Re: best area for living in finland?

If 'working remote's requires good internet access you should check out coverage before deciding where to live. There are still many places where 4G is unreliable.

Re: Specific Details

Will you be working or are you planning to study?
Do you have EU citizenship?
Which location are you moving to? Helsinki?

Btw. The age for starting school is 7. Your eldest might be able to start primary school if she turns 7 in 2018 but the younger one will go to daycare (päiväkoti).

Re: Finnish Citizenship application question about current and previous jobs

The best thing to do is go online and work through the application yourself. You can save your info as you go through it. You going to have to log on and do the application online eventually anyway. As far as I remember, it only wanted my current contracts but it might be different for you depending...

Re: Getting a taste of Finnish language and culture by an extended visit? Or perhaps study?

Consider spending some of your time away from the Helsinki region. In Helsinki everyone will talk to you in English. Also the culture is quite different to other parts of the country. If learning Finnish is your goal then look for short term residential courses eg Larkkulla offers summer courses wit...

Re: Moving to Finland in March

If you haven't registered here and you are working for a UK employer then I guess you are a tourist...?
Your EU healthcard covers you if you use public sector healthcare.
