Moving to Finland
Hanken warmly welcomes faculty members and visiting scholars from abroad.
Moving to a new country might feel like an quite intricate process and there are many things to keep in mind whether moving alone or together with family members. To ease the process of moving, we have put together checklist for things to keep in mind before and after moving.
Please note that some immigration processes may take longer than other and it is therefore always a good idea to start the process well in advance. If you have additional questions concerning Hanken, moving to or working in Finland, please contact your receiving unit or the HR-department Opens in new window .
