But to get back to the point, from all European countries, the DNA from the Finnish is most similar to that of the Dutch and NOT the Estonians. Fake news Piet, we already understood that you are too stupid to understand the YLE article you linked to. Noone believes your absurd fake news that of all...

Such working requirements for welfare recipients have mixed results in other countries, since they destroy the entry-level jobs in the regular job market these people could do instead. When the government uses jobseekers for cleaning, the current cleaner jobs disappear. When the government uses job...

OFF TOPIC: @Finlandgirl The Dutch only lost their access to the Baltics a little before 1438 and during the Hanseatic war due to the attempt of the hanseatic league to "limit" the grain trade by the Dutch , which ended in 1441 with the peace of Copenhagen. So both before and after this lit...

You have to credit the Orpo government for starting to address the problem of low wages due to many foreigners working in jobs at salaries no Finn would work for. The minimum monthly salary for an employed full-time office cleaner in Finland is 1889 Euro. Currently Migri is handing out residence pe...

I hope this info will help others as well.. For me the conclusion is that with the current proposed changes, I and especially my kids would be better off if I am NOT working, instead of having my current low wage job. Reason: wages are too low and government plans are not calculated through for (un...

Any person of at least average intelligence immediately recognizes that a text that does not even contain the word "Dutch" does not support your fake news that the Dutch were the reason for the foundation of Helsinki. Any person not knowing trade in the Baltics in that time were done most...

That's all fake news, because you fail at reading. Depends on what you read… https://yle.fi/a/3-6151334 Who said something about trading grain?... I said trading, seems your ability to read is even worse than mine, it was Grain AND Wood, both in huge quantities and resold by the Dutch with huge pro...

It just scares the hell out of you because you realize soon your diaper will be changed by for example a Nigerian or Thai nurse that speaks limited Finnish, regardless of why that would scare you. This might be the most idiotic post I've seen on this forum. At the end of the day, conservatives buil...

Hello FinlandForum-users, I have owned the car since the good old days pre-Brexit, and I have heard that this may qualify it for an exemption from import duty. This is no longer the case, this used to be true for one motor vehicle when moving, as importing of removable goods. The law about this cha...

Talking about one of the countries I lived in, (The Netherlands) I remember that it is forbidden to sleep the night in a car / caravan, van and camper, on public road and in residential areas, you will get a ticket when doing so and forced to move on immediately when ticketed. Sleeping in a car is o...

We have lived together for 10 years in Australia. At least 2 years of cohabitation is considered a spouse equal to marriage for residence permit purposes. In other words, no need to get married for the residence permit application, you can apply now already for a residence permit and apply for a pe...

For people that lived in many places including Finland and they're foreigners with kids. Do you think Finland is actually the place to be or did you wish you could be somewhere else where english can be used like UK? Or for example germany or Zurich ? Would like to hear some opinions. Also for exam...

Is it because every second person is on antidepressant or pissed? No other explanation, considering that the other 50% of the people walk around looking like they sucked a lemon all day.

Right on spot

I could not have said it better

Hello, I live in Espoo and we have our own apartment. We have a small private sauna. It is broken and we have to replace it. I will buy the new sauna. We contacted our flat maintenance company regarding this matter. They asked very high charge for this job. I don't know anybody who can help to repl...
