Welcome to Pori!

We hope that you enjoy your time in your new home Pori. The City of Pori welcomes our new residents with a welcome gift.

It’s great that you’ve chosen Pori as your place of residence. We hope that you enjoy your time in Pori. 

The city of Pori welcomes new residents with a welcome gift. Once a month, those who have recently moved to Por,i receive a post card from the city by mail. In this card, you can find a code which provides access to fantastic benefits. The cards are typically sent out during the following month after the move. 

Information about the new residents is obtained from The Digital and Population Data Services Agency. Please note that you must have officially moved to Pori and registered a permanent address change in order to receive the welcome card. 

Here’s how it works: 

  1. Download the Muuttovoitto App from Google Play or the Apple Store on your smartphone. We apologize that the app is currently available only in Finnish, but our intention is to translate it into English as well. 
  1. Log in to the app using the credentials provided to you in the welcome card you’ve received by mail. You have nearly a year to activate the Muuttovoitto App. The benefits within the app are available for one year from the activation date. 
  1. Logging in to the app: Your username and password are included in the post card. Be aware that some letters look similar (e.g., uppercase “I” and lowercase “l,” or zero “0” and capital “O”). Feel free to try different combinations. 
  1. App usage on a single device: You can only use the same credentials to activate the app on one device.  
  1. If you don’t have a smartphone, the City of Pori offers discount coupons valid in the city’s own services. These can be collected from the information desk at the Pori City Hall (Hallituskatu 12) during its opening hours. 
  1. Technical issues: If you encounter any technical problems (such as being logged out of the app or login issues), please contact info@slice.fi. 

Important: Keep the credentials you’ve received safe. We are unable to issue new credentials if you lose them.
