Visits to the Finnish Immigration Service are limited to a minimum – information can be found online

We get asked several times a week about the possibility of visiting us in order to get acquainted with what we do. Our workload is, however, so heavy at the moment that we are unable to arrange visits.

We are glad that our work attracts interest. For this reason, we are putting together an information package about our work and immigration, which will be added to our website. Further details about the information package will be available once it is completed.

Our website already contains information about our work and immigration
