People applying for temporary protection or asylum can stay at the reception centre, where they are registered. Reception centres are of different sizes and they are located in different parts of Finland. Asylum seekers may choose to arrange their own accommodation and live outside the reception centre, for example with friends or relatives. However, their home address is the address of the reception centre where they are registered.
Those who do not apply for temporary protection or asylum must arrange their accommodation themselves.
