Kela Card on 3 month Employment Contract

[mahwish]

Hi

I study in Turku University. I got a three month trainee contract as a Research Assistant. I am a non EU person.

Can I be eligible for Kela card on the basis of this card? I have a tax card and am registered to the Maistratti and have a Finnish ID.

Please inform.

Best Regards
Mahwish

The social security coverage of employees moving to Finland from some other country than an EU/EEA country, Switzerland or a country with a social security agreement with Finland is determined solely by reference to the intended length of their residence. To qualify for benefits from Kela, you must have a contract of employment for at least 2 years.
