eu member payed internship question

[marianne.c]

hi, i am a belgian girl, I was looking for a job for 2 months in finland now i found a payed internship for 5 months in helsinki, it can be lengtened or i have a chance on a permanent position. Anyway i signed my contract yesterday and i should start tomorow.
Well i do have some questions i wan't to stay in Finland so i should register
I went to the malmi police office and i already got a form. I have to go back to show my contract and form, to bad i work from 9-17h. How long does it take to get registered?
Is it after that necessary to go to the maastrati because of the tax card? I don't wan't to pay the highest tax rate because that would give a bit problems financially. Also i only have now a temporary place for a month because my move had to be done really unexpected fast. I am a bit confused about it all. And i have been send from here to there, i just want some additional info. What excactely should be done first because it is not a solid permanent contract.
anyway best regards, i hope anybody can explain it to me more clearly, btw i did check the forum but i have the 5 month contract only and i only have housing for a month(which gives me the oppurtunity to look for something longer) would that infact have a change on my situation? I also read the most horrible stories about getting registered, i just wanna fix all the paper work as soon as possible and get a tax card. kiitos marianne

For eu citizen who has valid, paid, work everything should be easy. Dont confuse yourself with horror stories of non eu people.

First you go in police station and file your registration, i honestly dont know how long it takes but shouldnt be too long.

After you get your "EU-citizen right to reside registration proof" *(Unionin kansalaisen oleskeluoikeuden rekisteröintitodistus ) from police then go in maistraatti.

Maistraatti is place where you get your ID number what is needed everywhere so yes, you dont exist withouth it. Take all of your papers, passport/official id (drivers licence isnt one) and eu registration proof from police are vital, with you and walk to local maistraatti.

After Maistraatti put you in computer you exist and then Vero knows that you are living in finland etc.

After you are in computer visit local vero office and talk with them.


This all is second hand knowledge and withouth any firsthand experience and i dont take any responsibility if this is wrong and i would like personal experiences to confirm this to be true or not.

Unfortunately I do not know the answer to your actual question (the person you meet there might), but if the queue in Malmi is (still) terrible A) I think it would be possible nowadays to book a time online for a visit, so check that B) if A) does not work then overall time needed to the visit would likely be less if you go there to wait for the doors to open perhaps 7:15 in the morning...

You should register. Once recorded in the system any further moves you can do online (with banking codes) or filling and posting a form. Based on the information given here, you can do temporary registration also at KELA or (for you more practical) Tax office, although in those cases you should still got to magistrate office after getting your police certificate.
