Frequently Asked Questions
Can you help me come to Estonia if I don’t have an employer ready to hire me?
No. We do not find employers or assist with employment in Estonia. We help prepare the document package and act as an intermediary between the employer and the state.
Our company mainly works with employers. If foreign specialists contact us, they must already have an employer ready to sign a contract. Do you have an employer?
Can you help find a specialist?
No. We do not search for employees for work in Estonia. We help prepare the necessary documentation and act as an intermediary between you and the state.
If you have a foreign specialist you want to employ in Estonia, we would be happy to assist with the documentation.
What does an employer need to know about a residence permit for a foreign IT top specialist?
Positions in the field of information and communication technology, as well as startup work, are not subject to the migration quota.
For such specialists, applying for and obtaining a temporary residence permit is possible throughout the year, regardless of the quota.
Employers should understand that the salary starts from €2748 gross and above.
What does an employer need to know about the migration quota?
There is a migration quota in Estonia. The migration quota is the maximum number of foreign immigrants allowed in Estonia, which must not exceed 0.1% of the country’s permanent population. In recent years, the migration quota has been around 1315 people – foreign specialists.
There are exceptions.
The quota does not apply to:
- positions in the field of information and communication technology (top IT specialists);
- startup workers;
- highly-paid specialists with high qualifications.
For such specialists, we prepare the documents and apply for a temporary residence permit in Estonia at any time throughout the year.
Family immigration is also not subject to the quota. This means that if your specialist already has a temporary residence permit, we can also arrange temporary residence permits for their spouse and children. Such applications are also submitted throughout the year.
Other specialists (such as welders, plumbers, chefs, electricians, equipment assemblers, long-distance drivers, carpenters, and builders) fall under the migration quota if their salary is at least €1832 gross. A limited number of residence permits are issued for such specialists (around 1315 per year). If your specialist has not received a temporary residence permit for work in Estonia, a work visa for Estonia may be a suitable alternative. The migration quota is not related to the issuance of a work visa for Estonia, which may serve as an alternative to a work-related residence permit. Employers contact our company to arrange work visas for their foreign specialists at any time throughout the year.
What are the processing times for a residence permit in Estonia?
The waiting time for a decision on a residence permit ranges from 2 to 6 months from the date the documents are registered with the Police and Border Guard Board.
On what grounds do you handle residence permits?
We can prepare the documents required to obtain a temporary work residence permit in Estonia. We can also prepare a full set of documents for obtaining a residence permit for the family of an employee who already holds a residence permit. Our company also handles the extension of residence permits.
What are the alternatives to a temporary work residence permit in Estonia?
An alternative is applying for a type D work visa. This grants the right to work in Estonia for up to one year. You can find out more about our work visa application service here.
Can you guarantee the issuance of a residence permit in Estonia?
No, we cannot. No one can give you such a guarantee.
The decision on issuing a residence permit is made by an official from the Estonian Police and Border Guard Board. Their decision depends on many factors (such as the migration quota, the reputation of the employee and employer, compliance with the law, tax payments, visa compliance, previous legal conduct, any threats to the Estonian state, and so on). We cannot influence these factors and therefore cannot guarantee a positive outcome.
We guarantee a well-prepared set of documents, adherence to deadlines, information support, and guidance at every stage of the process.
The prepared set of documents can be used again for future applications for a temporary residence permit.
