Ensure your passport or national ID card is valid for the duration of your stay in Estonia.
If you plan to stay in Estonia for more than three months, you must register your residence with the local Population Register (Rahvastikuregister) within three months of your arrival. You will receive a residence certificate.
You must have health insurance coverage in Estonia. If you are employed, you will be covered by the Estonian Health Insurance Fund (Haigekassa). You can also apply for the European Health Insurance Card (EHIC) before moving, which provides temporary health coverage. Alternatively, you can get private health insurance if you are not employed or want additional coverage.
As an EU citizen, you do not need a work permit to work in Estonia. Employers may ask for proof of identity and your registration certificate.
