Overview

Finland is now open on Workium with a flagship Seasonal Work programme designed for two distinct talent pools: premium hospitality staff for Rovaniemi (Lapland) hotels and skilled welders for Finnish shipyards. Unlike most relocation packages, this programme requires NO advance fee — your first installment of €1,600 is paid ONLY after you have received and verified your Finnish employment contract. The final €2,800 is settled only upon receiving your Temporary Residence Card (TRC). The employer takes on the heavy lifting: contract issuance, biometric appointment booking, and accommodation. Document issuance typically takes 1-5 days, and the entire process is approximately 1-2 months for hospitality roles, 3-4 months for shipyard welders.
