Relocation Services
We want to make moving to Finland as effortless and memorable as possible. Therefore, we offer relocation services that make it comfortable for talents and their families to move to Finland.
Creating memorable relocation experiences
Relocating to a new country is one of the biggest things in life and we want to be a part of that by helping in this process. NextLink offers comprehensive relocation services in Finland. We help with permit matters in the country of origin and in Finland. In addition to permit services, we offer several other services related to common issues in relocation to Finland.
In Finland, we make people lives as easy as possible, e.g. we help to find an apartment, open a bank account, schools for kids, find hobbies, etc. Finding an apartment can be one of the most challenging things when moving to a new country. Because of this, our Finland’s relocation services include arranging an apartment for people as soon as they arrive in the country. If wanted, the apartments we arrange are also already furnished, which makes it easier for people to move to a new country.
We want to help all people who are coming to the country to integrate into the culture, therefore, we also offer consulting from people with the same ethnic backgrounds who have lived in Finland for several years.

Relocation Services in Finland - Finding an apartment
Finding an apartment is one of the turning points in relocation. NextLink always takes the employee’s needs into account when arranging the apartment, whether it is a long-term or short-term apartment. We are able to arrange both furnished and unfurnished apartments based on the wishes. We coordinate the apartment to be ready for moving when the employee arrives in Finland. Due to this fact, the client or employee does not have to pay for staying in a hotel, which would significantly increase the costs of the relocation.
Arranging the apartment normally covers the following steps:
- Consultation about the employees’ needs regarding an apartment
- Shortlisting potential apartments
- Visiting apartments in person and taking videos
- Connecting the employee and the landlord, when a suitable apartment has been found
- Helping employee in apartment related matters, for example electricity, internet & insurances
We also always help the employee with everything else needed. Every relocation process is unique, that is why we approach each case in detail so that the employee gets the best possible relocation experience.
Personalized service and real caring

However, matters outside the workplace are also emphasized a lot in terms of integration during the first two months.
