Moving to Finland with Finnish passport

[rebekka.y]

Hello, I am in Finland and have moved from the UK recently. I have a Finnish passport (+and Irish passport, both EU) and I have family here, but I'm confused about how to register that I live here etc. ( I was born in the UK and have never had a permanent address / bank account here)

I don't have a bank account yet as appointments take a while to get, and one bank I had an appointment with to open account said they didn't do that there etc.. I have another appointment soon but it might take a while to get my e-codes. Without them I can't register my change of address online, so I think I can go to the post office, even if I don't have a previous address here? As in, I might not be on the system. In that case I think I have to go to Digi office, I already had an appointment but it turned out to the the wrong type..

So I'm a bit stressed about the process, and also for opening an account I'm hoping it will be ok with my family's address, although I don't have proof that I live there. I'm looking at flats now, but would like all the paperwork done asap.

Also in terms of getting the vaccine here, I phoned them up but haven't got the call back yet, and not sure if I need a Kela card before, as that might take a while to process too. (if it helps I do speak finnish )
If anyone has any info / has done this before, let me know!

Thanks

Mobile operators could be a faster way to get online authentication working. It should be possible with a walk-in.

Your entry in the population register (once processed) is the generally used proof of address.

Also in terms of getting the vaccine here, I phoned them up but haven't got the call back yet, and not sure if I need a Kela card before, as that might take a while to process too. (if it helps I do speak finnish )

The vaccines are provided by your municipality of residence so might have to wait for the move notification to be processed.
