The internet is full of information about Finland, including videos and social media content from people sharing their experiences. While some of this information can be helpful, not everything you see or hear online is accurate, complete or applicable to your personal situation.
We encourage you to be particularly careful with anyone promising guaranteed jobs, easy admission, quick visas, high salaries or an easy route to Finland. Be cautious of agencies or individuals asking you to make payments before you have independently verified the information they have provided.
