Re: Any school for Taxi driving license exam prepration

You have to master Finnish to get through the training.
Please read here some general instructions from the Association of Taxis (not an official translation...)

Re: About damaged car junkyard

There are guys on Facebook that advertise about buying old cars. I do not know if in oulu but in uusimaa at least.

Re: Probably moving back to Finland - my budget

Swedish speaking areas are socially much nicer imo than the finnish ones (i am finnish speaking). All the places i mentioned are bilingual, in Siuntio now about 70% speak finnish as mother tongue.

Re: Probably moving back to Finland - my budget

For inexpensive housing, consider the towns in South-Western Finland Kirkkonummi, Siuntio, Inkoo, Karjaa, Tammisaari is my take. Your house will keep the value and the prices are reasonable. I personally live in Siuntio, and love it. Siuntio is part of HSL transport system (D zone), you can commute ...

Re: Zip repairing service in the capital region

No personal experience... be prepared to pay quite a lot, not a cheap undertaking.

Re: Lost In The Darkness

Honestly, I am not sure if I understand what you want but for sure, there is no free hunting. You also cannot freely fell trees, only collect branches from the ground etc.
I feel you are not very realistic, have you any experience being a landlord? If you want to have tenants, you need to live ...

Re: Creating a company as a landlord

I would suggest that you join landlord groups. There is one discussion forum on Facebook
https://www.facebook.com/groups/825293360888410
There there are some older discussions on this matter, in general they say you need to have quite many properties. There are different aspects you need to consider ...

Re: unpaid sick leave

If you are worried about reprisal, then keep all the documentation in writing and take the matter further after you have left. Your employer is breaking the law. There are several cases where former employees have won cases regarding abuse, underpayment etc.

Re: Getting a Visa to Finland to marry




Sponsoring financially doesn’t easily work for visa application, in my experience. I wrote something like that for my sister and she was rejected. It’s best if her own bank account has the money needed. Ideally 120€/day since that’s the biggest requirement I saw in Schengen visa requirements ...

Re: Electrolysis hair removal in Tampere and nearby

It seems hair removal by electrolysis is called "neulaepilaatio" ("needle epilation") in Finland. I found one place doing it in Tampere and google reviews are pretty positive in general. Kauneus ja lymfahoitola Petite Cabinette.
