Handbook for international staff and visitors

This handbook has been created to support and assist you in issues related to moving and living in Finland and Jyväskylä. Whether you are an employee, grant researcher, doctoral student or a long-term visitor, you can find information on all important matters related to your relocation and stay here. This handbook also includes important and interesting information on family matters for you and your family to familiarize yourselves with. 

We at the International Staff Services (ISS) support you with official paperwork and arrangements necessary for your relocation to Jyväskylä, e.g. providing information on immigration, accommodation and taxation. 

As a part of our support we offer Pre-arrival Q&A and info sessions as well as After-arrival Q&A and info sessions. Your ISS contact person will send you invitations for the Pre-arrival Q&A and info sessions which are held online. The After-arrival Q&A and info sessions will be held in person on campus and you can find the times and venues in the After-arrival arrangements section of this handbook.

We are looking forward to meeting you and hope that you will enjoy working with us!
