ENTRY, RESIDENCE AND WORK PERMITS<br />
If you come to <strong>Estonia</strong> through another country, do not forget to check whether a transit visa<br />
is required. Your employer will usually provide a visa invitation. This is necessary for the visa<br />
application, as it is proof of the purpose of and reason for the visit.<br />
Citizens from a number of countries do not need a visa to enter <strong>Estonia</strong> for stays of no more<br />
than three months in a 6-month period. However, if you wish to work in <strong>Estonia</strong> for 3 to<br />
6 months, you still need to apply for a long-term visa; for a longer stay you must apply for a<br />
residence permit for employment.<br />

WORK<br />
If your period of work in <strong>Estonia</strong> is<br />
shorter than 6 months, you do not<br />
need a work permit if you register<br />
your short term employment at the<br />
Citizenship and Migration Board<br />
(CMB). short term employment must<br />
be registered before applying for a<br />
long-term visa, and the document<br />
confirming registration must be<br />
appended to the long term visa<br />
application.<br />
The registration process at the CMB<br />
takes up to 10 days. The best way is<br />
to register short-term employment by<br />
mail before arriving in <strong>Estonia</strong>.<br />
Further information on registering short-term employment can be found at the web page of the CMB<br />
