Estonia Immigration Laws, Rules & Policy

Estonia offers multiple immigration pathways for non-EU professionals and their families to live and work in the country. Whether you're hiring international talent or relocating employees, understanding Estonian visa types and residence permit requirements is essential.

  • Employers must provide a job offer or secure registration with the Estonian Police and Border Guard Board (PBGB) before visa processing
  • Non-EU nationals need the appropriate Estonian visa or residence permit before entering the country for work
  • The Startup Visa, Digital Nomad Visa, and EU Blue Card are ideal for skilled professionals and entrepreneurs
  • Estonia also provides options for recent graduates, researchers, and remote workers seeking long-term stays

Recent updates to Estonian immigration rules have improved processing timelines, simplified residence permit renewals, and expanded eligibility for skilled workers. Jobbatical ensures your company stays fully compliant with PBGB requirements and legal changes.
