Not really true, if you move to Finland as EU citizen, you won't get Finnish social security right away. You have to work here to apply for it.

  How would that work in the case of an unconditional basic income though? If you're not going to have a pre-requisite for native Finnish people to have had a job in order to receive it, can you have a pre-requisite for EU nationals to have a job before they can claim?

    The concept you are looking for is that of residency: because you are physically in a country doesn't mean you are a resident of that country. There are rules of residency even within the EU.

      I'm not sure, but perhaps it is similar to local voting rights? Do tourists get the right to vote in local elections, or do they have to prove to have lived there for some length of time first?

        Here in Norway you have to be a permanent resident to vote in local elections and a citizen to vote in national elections. I think it is broadly similar in the rest of northern Europe.
