Hi! I'm planning to move to Rovaniemi in a few years to settle down and live there permanently. I've heard about the peaceful people, the beautiful snow-covered forests, the sub-zero temperatures, Santa Claus, and the Northern Lights, and that's exactly what I'm looking for. I simply want to live somewhere peaceful to enjoy life and nature. For those who live there, what's life like? Do they have good salaries? Are there jobs available? I currently work in the hotel industry. I understand you won't be a millionaire, but I mean a decent salary that allows you to live comfortably without worries. Is it more complicated for someone from outside Europe? Do they welcome foreigners who come to live there? I understand I'll have to learn Finnish as best I can, but I don't think it will be too difficult if I dedicate enough time to it. Thank you for your time, and if you could tell me a little about it, I would be very grateful! 😁😁

  1. So you haven’t done basically any googling about country you are planning to not just visit but to actually move?

  2. Get a job before you move. Finland has a very high unemployment rate right now. There has been lots of news about how difficult it has been for people to find jobs, especially at the entry level.

    I moved here as a specialist for a company that basically sponsored my visa and residence permit applications. It was a few thousand euros for everything, and without the company submitting paperwork saying that they needed my specialist skills, I don’t think it would have happened.

  3. I dont want to spoil your enthusiasm, but Finnish language is a very hard language to learn as an adult, don’t underestimate the effort needed.
