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 to a significant extent 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 advantageous if you can speak Finnish.
