Immigration Services

Vihti’s Immigration Services offer integration support to all immigrants settling into Vihti. We give guidance to people who have moved to Finland due to work, studies or family ties but we also instruct families who benefit from international protection.

We help you to understand Finnish society and use public services. Please contact us if you have any questions in matters such as:
– learning the language
– housing
– studies or work
– residence permit
– children’s daycare or schooling
– hobbies

If necessary, we will book an interpreter to join our meeting.

Please note, that we give advice in many things related to everyday life, but in matters involving social security and KELA benefits, the best help is found in KELA itself – either online , by calling (service available in English) or by visiting their office in Nummela (Tuusantie 1).

In case you need social assistance, please contact the regional social services (LUVN):
– Adult Services
– Family Services
– Applying for last resort supplementary and preventive social allocation

Collaborative Projects

We carry out cross-disciplinary cooperation with other authorities and third sector operators, and also do our part to support other service providers in the area. Our volunteer network also supports people integrating into Vihti in everyday matters.

NAVIGAATTORI – joint development project for employment, partnership and competence. The project aims to solve problems where vacant jobs and the labour force do not meet for some reason.

The project helps immigrants, as well as other jobseekers, in finding the right work or training place for their situation. If your issue does not concern training or job seeking, the project can, if needed, guide you to the appropriate services.

If needed, we can guide you to the NAVIGAATTORI services, which are in place until the end of 2025.
