1. How to find a job in Estonia?
Liina Vallimäe

2. Work Permits
There is no such thing in Estonia as a special “work permit”. You can work here if your short‐term employment is registered by your employer and your stay here is legal (e.g. you have a D- visa) or when you have a valid (temporary) residence permit for working.

3. The residence permit for studying in Estonia is generous
The residence permit for studying in Estonia is generous. Because the residence permit provides the right to work too. There is no limitation for working hours. That is a great chance to gain international experience, both educational and the work.
You just need to be full-time student (30 ECTS credits per semester) and the working hours shouldn’t interfere with your studies. 

4. EU
If you are a citizen of the EU, the EEA (Iceland, Liechtenstein and Norway), or Switzerland, you can enter Estonia without a visa.
If you want to work in Estonia for more than 3 months, you just need to register as an Estonian resident in the Population Register of Estonia during the first 3 months of your stay.
