Integration specialists

You can book a time with any integration or multilingual guidance specialist by phone, WhatsApp, or e-mail. We can provide service in your native language, either through our own specialists or by translator services. However, to aid with integration, we try to use Finnish as much as possible. Let your integration specialist know which languages you communicate in when you book your appointment. Please let us know if you cannot make it to your appointment as soon as you know, so that we can offer the time to someone else. In Finland, every adult has the right to handle their own affairs.
