  • Job offer & employer eligibility — Employer via Police and Border Guard Board (Politsei- ja Piirivalveamet): The Estonian employer offers the non-EU national a job and ensures the company is registered in the Estonian Business Register and can prove at least six consecutive months of genuine economic activity before any application is filed.

(Salary criterion, not a government fee: EUR 2,092 / 2,594 / 3,138 gross per month from 05.03.2026)
  • Application submission & state fee — Worker via Police and Border Guard Board (Politsei- ja Piirivalveamet): The applicant submits the application with passport, employment contract, proof of income, accommodation and health insurance, and pays the state fee, in person at an Estonian embassy/consulate or at a Police and Border Guard Board service office if legally present in Estonia.

(Decided within 90 days of acceptance of the application)
  • Residence permit card issuance — Authority via Police and Border Guard Board (Politsei- ja Piirivalveamet): After a positive decision, the residence permit card is produced and collected at the chosen embassy/consulate or PPA service office. (Card issued within 30 days after the decision)

办理时间与政府费用

  • Overall processing time: Temporary residence permit for employment decided within 90 days of acceptance of the application; residence permit card issued within 30 days thereafter.
  • Government fees: State fee for a temporary residence permit for employment: EUR 250 when applying at a Police and Border Guard Board service office in Estonia, EUR 280 when applying at a foreign representation (embassy/consulate). Card production may carry a separate residence-permit-card fee.
  • Processing times (90 days + 30 days), the EUR 250/280 state fees, the Unemployment Insurance Fund authorisation step and the 05.03.2026 salary thresholds (EUR 2,092/2,594/3,138) were verified on politsei.ee and the EU Immigration Portal; the exact residence-permit-card production fee and any role-specific quota exemptions still need confirmation with the Police and Border Guard Board.
