Hi - my name is Bill and I hope to move to Helsinki in the Autumn.
I will be unemployed when I move, so is there anyone from England living there who could give me advice on accommodation and benefits please.
I look forward to the replies, Bill.
Soon moving to Finland
Bill,
Have you searched these pages yet? there is a lot of info here if you have a look through previous posts. Also why are you coming here? is it for a woman ? or is there another reason?

But what shall it profit a people if they satisfy all material desires, but leave for their children nothing, only a wasteland.

You can transfer the dole, but you need to have all the impossible paperwork, your EU health card etc. - its all in the internet at the appropriate UK agency website - if you can't find it I'll copy paste it here in Welsh 
Don't "think" - get all the papers including one from your dentist about your gingivitis just in case anyone asks for it. Getting some stupid piece of paper as in a baptismal certificate after the fact is going to be arse-backwards-up-tree. Not that anyone would ask for any paper - except the one that you don't have. Or leave the papers at your ma's or someplace so that you can get them in the mail, but you don't have to be in some office on a blue moon to get them personally. Oh, and driver's licence, get the plastic one.
What else - yeah, don't expect to find a job immediately necessarily. Depends how desirable you are and how bad your Finnish is - its a niche market.
So, what do you do as for like job/qualifications/can do?
