Immigration services

Vihti’s immigration services offer guidance to support integration and advice for both quota refugees and persons receiving international and temporary protection. We will help you in integrating into Finnish society, guide you in using society’s services and give you advice in matters relating to everyday life. These include housing, studying, work, residence permits, and other issues concerning authorities.

We also offer advice for municipality residents who have received residence permits for work, family, study or some other reason. We want to serve all immigrants living in Vihti, and if necessary, we will hire an interpreter to join our meeting.

Collaborative projects

NAVIGAATTORI (Navigator) – 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.

www.navigaattori.eu

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 will guide you to the NAVIGAATTORI project’s services.
