I can help you make sure that you have the right documents and that the application is properly completed. I also can deal with the authorities on your behalf after the application has been submitted and keep you updated of the progress.
No one can predict the decisions of the permit authorities, but on the
basis of the existing regulations and practices, we can jointly find out
where you stand.
We make sure to avoid the pitfalls that exist and the mistakes you can make that can cause a rejection.
The first counselling (by phone / email) is free of charge.
In Finland based employers and workers are warmly welcome.
Overseas agencies strictly no thanks.
NB. This is not a recruitment agency.

employment before you may apply for a worker's residence
