Frequently Asked Questions

Common inquiries regarding Finland Specialist Work application requirements.

Do I need translations to Finnish?

keyboard_arrow_down
No, not if the document is originally in English. The Finnish Immigration Service (Migri) accepts documents in Finnish, Swedish, or English. Certified translation is only required for documents in other languages.

Do Finnish consulates require Apostille?

keyboard_arrow_down
Yes. All certificates (Marriage, Birth, PCC) must be legalized with a Hague Apostille in your country of origin before translation.
