According to SchengenNews, Finland is facing a labor shortage in 33 industries, including healthcare, food service, engineering, IT, construction, and metal processing, according to the most recent data from the European Labour Authority.
According to the EURES forecast, fewer people in Finland will be of working age in the upcoming years, which might make it easier for foreigners to get a work visa for Finland.
Finland is one of the wealthiest and highest-paying nations in Europe. According to TimeCamp, as of 2024, the average gross wage is expected to be €4,250 per month, while the minimum salary is around €1,800. Sector, education level, experience, and geographic location all have a substantial impact on salary variations; the Helsinki metropolitan area often pays more.
Medical physicians, surgeons, executives, senior managers, IT specialists, banking and financial specialists, attorneys, pilots, and engineers are among the high-paying occupations in Finland.
Citizens of third countries who wish to relocate to Finland for work must get a work visa. To work in Finland, however, one does not need a work visa if they are a citizen of the US, the Vatican, Andorra, the US/EU/EFTA, Japan, New Zealand, or Australia.
