Legal Services
in Helsinki
The capital of Finland. Migri, kotikunta, work, Oy.
Helsinki is the center of the Ukrainian community in Finland. Extending temporary protection through Migri, obtaining kotikunta (municipal residence registration), transitioning to a work permit, housing and employment — the Finnish system is highly formalized, but it follows its own logic.
Zahist in Helsinki handles cases in the Finnish and Ukrainian jurisdictions — with one team.
Status and immigration in Helsinki
Migri, oleskelulupa, kotikunta
Migri processes cases slowly, and mistakes in applications set you back by months. We prepare applications correctly the first time.
- Extending temporary protection through Migri
- Obtaining kotikunta and the benefits of municipal registration
- Transitioning to an oleskelulupa based on work or business
- Family reunification in Finland
- Appealing Migri decisions before the administrative court
- Permanent residence (pysyvä oleskelulupa) and Finnish citizenship
Work and family in Helsinki
The Finnish labor market protects the employee but requires knowledge of TES rules (collective agreements). In parallel, family matters between Finland and Ukraine.
- Reviewing a työsopimus before signing
- Protection against unlawful dismissal
- Disputes over wages and conditions under TES
- Divorce and child support between Helsinki and Ukraine
- Child custody, international disputes
- Document recognition, legalization
Business in Helsinki
Oy, toiminimi, relocation
Finland is a transparent jurisdiction for business. Ukrainians open Oy companies (the equivalent of an LLC) and startups in Helsinki.
- Oy registration: articles of association, PRH, bank account
- Toiminimi (self-employment) in Helsinki
- Entrepreneur's business residence permit
- Commercial premises leases
- Contracts with Finnish counterparties
- Relocating startups to Helsinki
