After your studies can you stay here, if you can stay then on which basis you can stay, and can you easily get a job after your studies on whose basis you apply for your residence permit. Today we will talk about all those questions. So let’s start the news.

So first, if we talk about universities, here mainly there are three universities which are the University of Tartu, Tallinn University, and Tallinn University of Technology. Here you can do your studies. Mainly the students who come, they come to these universities. They are public universities, so here you also have the option of scholarships, and if you want to study business then there is Estonian Business School, you can come there too.

Now let’s talk about whether you can stay here after your studies. If you can stay, then on which basis can you stay? So after your studies here, you can look for a job for nine months. Basically, every student finds a job before nine months.

So you can work along with your studies. So you can secure your job and at the same time continue your studies.

But if you do not want to work along with your studies first, then you have nine months. In nine months you can find a job and after finding a job, you can apply for your residence permit. The residence permit is connected with your employer. This means the employer applies for your residence permit. So this means based on that residence permit you are living in Estonia and you cannot leave that employer. If you leave that employer, your residence permit gets canceled. If you want to work in another company, then through that company you have to apply for a new residence permit.
So this was about the residence permit.

Now let’s talk about that residence permit which is not connected with your employer and which you can apply for yourself. You can apply for it in Estonia if you have been living in Estonia for three years based on your temporary residence permit. In this, studies are not counted. Now if you want to apply for a temporary residence permit, then you must live for three years in Estonia, and studies are not counted. That means if you have spent two years in studies and after that you stayed three years, then you can apply for your three-year temporary residence permit. So that one is not connected to your employer.

If you are thinking about moving from India to any other country, the first question that comes to your mind is: how much will the salary be in that profession, and is it worth going there? Even if you are already earning, how much can you save? So today, in this topic, we will talk about salaries.

Let’s start with the basics. The average salary in Estonia is between €100 and €2000, including tax. If we deduct tax, it comes to around €1400 to €1600. Converted to Indian Rupees, that’s approximately ₹1,25,000 to ₹1,45,000.

If we talk profession-wise, there’s a website called PGAD where you can check salaries by position. You can see the salary range for a person working in Estonia—from a minimum of €14 to a maximum average of €2981. Here, you can also compare your salary with others, so you get an idea whether you are earning less or more.

For different positions:

• In agriculture or the food industry, around 80% of people earn between €897 and €257. You can compare your salary with others.
• Agricultural engineers and agricultural technicians have different salaries.
• Pastry chefs or other confectioners earn an average of €1200 to €1400 in the food industry.

In Information Technology, depending on the sector, around 80% of people earn between €1570 to almost €4000. You can also check the salary for different types of developers, such as backend or Android developers—minimum and maximum salaries.

In the education sector, salaries can range from €1030 to €2590. University teachers can earn between €1324 to €3183.

Another high-paying sector is the service industry. For example, beauticians earn between €85 to €218 or even more. This sector is very fulfilling—people take great care of themselves, especially girls who always maintain their nails, eyelashes, and skin. Hairdressers also earn good money; a basic haircut costs around €35, while hair spa or coloring can cost up to €200–€250 for medium-length hair. Hairdressing is a lucrative job in Estonia.

Plumbers also earn well, but language skills are necessary. Comparing salaries, IT jobs generally pay more than other jobs. Estonia is a digital nation with many startups, so you can earn well in IT.

For other jobs in healthcare or education, knowing the Estonian language is important. English alone will not be sufficient.

So, this was the reality of salaries in Estonia. If you are planning to move to Estonia, you now have a clear idea of what to expect salary-wise.

Correct. In good buildings. And what is the monthly rent here? Not yearly like Dubai. It is on a monthly basis, and the tent is not there. Here, you cannot pay on post-dated checks monthly.

A laborer’s expense is almost 1,000–1,300–1,500 because if accommodation is not provided by the company, they take it themselves. Basically, mostly, the company provides accommodation, and your food sometimes. One or two meals are available at the company, which you take. Otherwise, you have to purchase one-time or two-time meals, costing approximately 300–500 extra without accommodation.
