Accommodation of asylum seekers or people with temporary protection

The Finnish Immigration Service (Migri) and the Finnish Red Cross Hämeenlinna Reception Center are responsible for accommodating asylum seekers and people granted temporary protection.

If a person applies for asylum in Finland, registration as an asylum seeker takes place through the police authority.

Some people coming from Ukraine may stay with their relatives and friends without the help of any official authority. Travelers with a passport have the right to stay in Finland for 3 months without a visa.

The Ukraine Center is located at the address Birger Jaarlin katu 6, Hämeenlinna.

For example, the Finnish Red Cross, the Finn Church Aid, and The United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF), as well as Doctors Without Borders, are well-known, reliable organizations through which the country at war can be supported. Primarily, the organizations gather financial support that can be precisely channeled to those in need.

The Finnish Red Cross has opened an info point that coordinates the support for Ukraine. You can contact the Red Cross through the application form that you can find on the website: Inform about your readiness to help in the crisis in Ukraine – Punainen Risti.
