The 60-second version

Finnish exit starts at DVV permanent move registration. Export TyEL occupational pension and Kela coverage proof before cancelling Finnish bank direct debits.

DVV move abroad is the anchor

I register permanent move abroad at DVV before leaving Finland. Vero uses this date to end unlimited tax liability.

Kela health and social security ends on employment termination — keep cancellation letter for insurance porting in India.

TyEL employer pension statement proves accrual — download from pension insurer (Ilmarinen, Varma, etc.).
