- Kotikunta (municipality of residence)
- Verokortti (tax card)

04How Hello Expat helps
Your Finnish admin, in the right order
Hello Expat lists your steps in the order Finland expects them, each with its official source and the date it was checked. Moovy, your personal assistant, is an AI: it answers with the page it used, and drafts the emails you send yourself.
Step 1
Register your right of residence
Staying more than three months? Apply to Migri within three months of arriving, online in Enter Finland or on paper. The fee is €53 in 2026, then you visit a Migri service point to prove who you are. Nordic citizens skip this step.

Step 2
Register with the DVV
The DVV (the Digital and Population Data Services Agency) gives you your henkilötunnus if you do not have one yet. You visit in person, by appointment. If you settle for at least a year, the same form asks for your kotikunta, the municipality that opens public services, health care among them.

Step 3
Tell Kela you have moved
In OmaKela, Kela's online service, you declare your move and ask for your Kela card. Kela needs your henkilötunnus and a bank account before any application. A job paying at least €800.02 a month can also bring you into Finnish social security.

A question Moovy gets in Helsinki
Moovy
AI assistantYou
I am French and I start a job in Helsinki next month. Do I have to wait for my Migri registration before I start work?
No, you don't. An EU citizen can start work as soon as they arrive, even while Migri, the Finnish immigration service, is still looking at the registration. You only register your right of residence if you stay more than three months, and you must apply within three months of arriving. The fee is €53 in 2026. As an employee, you can register only once your contract has started.
Moovy is an artificial intelligence: it can make mistakes. Open the source before you decide.
06What's inside
Everything your move needs, in one account.
An AI adviser that knows 30 countries, your steps in order, reminders, a vault for your papers, and the emails you need to send. Moovy prepares, you decide: it never signs, submits or represents you.

My journey, in the right order
Your steps one after the other, each with its official source. The next one is always at the top.
Reminders and My schedule
Add an appointment: we email you seven days before, then the day before. My schedule shows it all, month by month.
A vault for your papers
Your documents are encrypted before they are stored, with a different key for each document, kept apart from our servers. Nobody on the team has a tool to open them. Moovy reads each document you add to file it, and every reading appears in your log. You can delete everything whenever you like.
When Moovy reads a document, the text is processed by our AI provider, in the United States.
Tell us once
A short questionnaire after sign-up fills in My situation for you. Moovy uses it from your first message.
My family, dog and cat included
Add your partner, children, parents, and your dog or cat. Moovy adapts its advice: school, health insurance, and for pets the microchip, rabies vaccine and pet passport.
Emails and letters, drafted for you
Your landlord only speaks Greek? Moovy drafts the email in Greek, with a translation. You check it, and you send it yourself.
Official forms explained in Portugal, Spain, Italy and France, with the link to the official form. You fill it in and hand it in yourself.
