The Eräluvat.fi website and the Eräluvat webshop will be merged and renewed on November 19th. As a result of the update, old customer accounts will no longer be available, and you will not be able to view previously purchased permits. Paid permits continue to be valid, but it is best to take special care to save them. After the update, you need to create a new customer account.
Starting from October 4th, it will no longer be possible to reserve permits or huts in the Eräluvat online store; orders must be paid for immediately. This change is due to the renewal of the Eräluvat service. We are already preparing for the introduction of the new system.
Vesa Ruusila, PhD, has been appointed Metsähallitus Director of Game and Fisheries by the Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry. Ruusila joins the Metsähallitus staff from the Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry, where he serves as a game and fisheries adviser and Head of Unit for Game and Fisheries. Ruusila will assume his duties at Metsähallitus on 1 December 2024.
In the future, Metsähallitus will serve its customers in Ivalo by telephone and digital service channels. The Ivalo office’s customer service point will be open for the last time on Friday 18 October.
The fisheries management fee is an excellent investment in fishing waters and fishing – and it’s also a great gift idea for Father’s Day or Christmas. You can pay your fisheries management fee at authorised outlets: the Metsähallitus web store, permit service points, the permit service number at +358 20 69 2424, and all R-kioski shops in Finland.
