Paying the user fee

The easiest way to pay the user fee is in our Web Store by the bank or credit card of your choice. The international PayPal internet-service is for credit card users. Credit card is preferred for foreign customers, but is also available to Finnish customers. There are more payment options for Finnish customers in our Finnish Web Store.

You can also pay the user fee by transferring the money by payment order. The payment order works as follows. In any bank, mention your wish to transfer money to the bank account of the Institute of Migration in Finland. The account number can be found in your order receipt which you get when paying the fee in our web shop and choosing "payment order" as the payment method. You can print the receipt for your reference. NOTE for the customers outside European Union: Your bank may charge you an additional fee for the payment order.

After the payment is made, you must register as user of the emigrant database by the following link:

Additional information on paying in the web shop of the Institute of Migration

Payment is made in the web shop by adding the product or service to the "shopping cart" (e.g. user fee for the emigrant register) and then choosing payment method. After giving the required name and contact information, you are taken to a page with clickable icons to the bank or credit card company. The payment is secure, because personal information and bank or credit card information is not registered at the Institute's server.
