  • Bonuses and Benefits for Spouse and Children

    • Free education
    • The right to seek employment
    To qualify for these benefits, your spouse must attend integration and language courses. Additionally, you may be eligible for support from Kela, Finland’s social insurance institution. This includes benefits like maternity grants and children's allowances, which are approximately €90–€100 per child.

  • Education and Childcare in Finland
    In Finland, education is free for all residents, including international families. This includes primary and secondary education, as well as kindergarten.
    In Helsinki, you don’t need to choose private institutions, as the governmental schools and kindergartens provide excellent quality education and care. Public education is highly valued, and you can be assured that your children will receive a top-notch education without the need to pay for private alternatives.
