Helsinki’s one-stop service centre for newcomers, International House Helsinki (IHH), opened its doors this morning at a new address—Ratapihantie 7 in the rapidly developing Pasila business district. The relocation, effective 1 June 2026, brings IHH under the roof of the government’s brand-new Suomi-piste (“Finland-Point”) customer-service concept, which gathers multiple public bodies in a single accessible building next to Pasila rail station. IHH is best known among expatriates and global mobility teams for handling EU-citizen registration appointments, issuing Finnish personal identity codes, and providing multilingual advice on taxation, social security and local employment rules.

If your move to Finland also involves securing the right visa or entry permit, VisaHQ can streamline the process before you even arrive. Their dedicated Finland portal (https://www.visahq.com/finland/) supplies step-by-step checklists, real-time requirement updates and professional support, ensuring you have the correct documentation in hand when you head to IHH’s new Pasila location.
All these services continue unchanged, but visitors now benefit from extended opening hours (09:00–16:00 Monday-Wednesday and Friday; 10:30–16:00 Thursday), barrier-free access and direct rail links to Helsinki Airport and city-centre hotels. According to the Finnish Immigration Service, the move is part of a broader digital-first overhaul of customer service. The Suomi-piste model co-locates Migri desk officers with staff from the Tax Administration, the Digital and Population Data Services Agency (DVV) and the Social Insurance Institution (Kela). New arrivals can therefore register their right of residence, obtain a tax card, apply for a social-security number and receive orientation counselling in a single visit. For employers, the consolidation promises faster onboarding of foreign hires. Whereas previously an assignee might have needed three separate appointments across town, HR teams can now book one time slot through Migri’s online system and track progress via Enter Finland. Early feedback from pilot users indicates that average time-to-ID-number issuance has dropped from ten days to three. Companies should update welcome packs, relocation guides and map links immediately. The old IHH premises on Lintulahdenkuja will close permanently and no longer accept walk-in visitors. Those with appointments booked before 1 June have been automatically re-scheduled to the Pasila site, and confirmation messages have been sent to the email address on file.
