How to move to Finland – We provide the services needed

Discover the best way of moving to Helsinki, Finland, efficiently and affordably with our international moving services. At Alfa, we specialise in assisting individuals and families with their relocation needs when moving to Finland, offering both expertise and eco-friendly solutions, such as combined transports, where your belongings are efficiently transported with other families. Whether you are migrating to Finland with your family or embarking on this journey alone, you can rely on us for a personalised and reliable moving experience.

When planning on migrating to Finland, we recommend reaching out to us at least 6 weeks before your expected move date. This time frame provides us ample time to engage in the necessary planning and preparations. Whether you are moving to Helsinki or any other city in Finland, our local team is well-prepared to assist you. Typical transit times for moves within Europe are approximately 5 to 10 days door-to-door. If you require additional time between loading and delivery, we offer the convenient option to warehouse your goods while in transit.

Cost of moving to Finland

To provide you with the most accurate cost estimate for your international move, we will arrange a pre-move survey. During this survey, we will estimate the volume of your belongings, assess the accessibility of your home, and pinpoint any delicate items that might require special handling or packing materials.

When moving to Finland within the EU, there are typically no customs formalities required for used household goods and personal effects. However, if you are arriving in Finland from outside the EU, our dedicated team, supported by our own office in Finland, will guide you through the specific requirements for moving to Finland. You can also find detailed customs information on importing household goods from this link as provided by the FIDI association, the largest global alliance of international moving and relocation companies.
