Where to live for the first week or month?

Post by 1200cc » Tue Aug 15, 2023 10:29 am

Hi

I am working on working visa, I was wondering where to live for the first week or month?
I checked Oikotie, no matter rent or buy, need personal identity code, which I don't have before I go to DVV in Finland.
I guess it would takes a week or a month to find long-term house.
I will move with my wife and kid, any hint for this?

Thank you.

I rented an apartment for a month in Airbnb when I first moved while I sorted out all the practicalities, e.g., registering at DVV, getting Finnish ID, bank account, etc.

Usually you get the personal identity code with the residence permit. Didn’t this happen?

Oh, working visa is in process, not get it yet.
Webpage need Henkilötunnus, does it mean personal identity code
Airbnb sounds a good idea.

Thank you.
