Malmö City has been a Finnish administrative area since 2015. This means that the municipality must inform about the rights of the Finnish minority, offer elderly care entirely or largely in Finnish, and promote the Finnish language and culture. It also means a right to use Finnish in contact with us in the municipality. Since Malmö City is a Finnish administrative area, it is an advantage if you can speak Finnish.
