- tpmx 4y agoIt's illegal without a permit or a written notification to a police department, it seems: https://poliisi.fi/en/money-collections https://poliisi.fi/en/money-collections
- Ndymium 4y agoThe permit cannot be obtained for private persons or companies at all, only for non-profit associations. The "small-scale money collection" that can be done with a written notification is possible for private persons, but also has limits: * Max 10,000 € per round * Max 3 months per round * Max 2 rounds per year * Needs a group of at least 3 persons to organise
