  1. Hei.
    I’m EU citizen, staying in Finland since August. I know that I’m allowed for 3 months stay without any extra papers. What if I travel out of Finland and come back? Does it 3 months period start counting again then?
    Thanks for help!

  2. Hi! I’m in the process of getting my first residence permit based on an intimate relationship. I was wondering if I would be able to get health benefits when and if I receive the permit. Since it’s the first residence permit, it would be a 1 year fixed term permit. Is it possible for me to get health benefits with that residence permit? I don’t have a specific “condition” I was only asking this cos right now when I don’t have the benefits, it costs me huuuuge amount of money to go to a doctor and receive even the most basic form of consultation and treatments. So I was hoping for when I have the permit, the cost would go down????

  3. Because finnish winters are supposedly very cold, how do you dress for winter? Or colder weather for that matter? Are those thermal shirts and leggings? Good idea? I also dont have a winter coat, as I’m international student I thought I should save lugagge space and well I could use a new one anyway. Where should I look for one and when? Discounts would be preferable.
