Service points of the Finnish Immigration Service
Book an appointment in advance online.
Please make sure that you bring all the necessary documents with you to the service point. Please read the instructions on the page ‘Handling matters at a service point’.
Queuing with a waiting number is possible during the opening hours of the service points, with the exception of the service point Rovaniemi. You can check the opening hours for the service points under their contact information.
The service points may stop handing out waiting numbers earlier, if the queue becomes too long to handle under the opening hours.
Our service points are not open on official holidays.
We follow the coronavirus restrictions carefully. Because of this, we can only allow a restricted number of persons to enter the premises of the service point at a time. Please be prepared to wait for your turn outside. We expect to see extended queues.
