Working abroad
When Finns move outside the European Union they need a work permit which is granted by the immigration authorities of that country. However, Finnish nationals can, in principle, freely go and work in Switzerland, Norway, Iceland and Liechtenstein under the same rules that apply to EU Member States. Social security is in most cases defined in accordance with the legislation in force in the country of residence.
