Transite always was a great help for us concerning flat-searches for our employees as well as for the caretaking in tenancy. Also the guidance for immigration and magistrate took off a lot of extra work for us. Quick and friendly employees took care of every detail.

I was fortunate to have Transite Relocations involved in my relocation from Montreal Canada to Helsinki. Moving is not easy but Transite certainly made the transition very smooth for myself and my husband. Everything from shipping our belongings to finding an apartment took place quickly. This is not my first experience of relocation but it has been the best.
Practical things like applying for a residence permit and opening a bank account took place efficiently. They listened to our questions and concerns and found information if it was not immediately to hand. The orientation was great as finding your way around a new city can be quite daunting. The “Welcome to Finland” brochure has been an excellent source of information. Finding a vet and a cat sitter was important to me and Transite helped me find both.
When you are relocating from another country for work there are many pressures. One of these is being productive as soon as possible after the move. Transite can help make this happen for you. Not knowing the language is tough but their help with forms and setting up utilities is invaluable. You don’t want to ask your new work colleagues to help translate official letters. However you can scan and send them to Transite and ask for help.
I have no hesitation in recommending Liz and her team. I found them to be professional and personable.
-Áine McSharry from Ireland
Liz and her staff have been fantastic, there have been lots of strange questions and lots of little things that we needed done, and they were taken care of and provided great advice. We are now in our third year and our second residence in Helsinki and even now I occasionally call Liz for her advice.
