Act on the Amendment of the Foreigners Act and the Higher Education Act

Summary

The bill directs employers to use local labor in Estonia and to recruit foreign labor, especially for jobs that require highly qualified labor. For the sake of this goal, the salary criterion stipulated in the law is raised to 1.5 times as a general condition. However, under real conditions, the wage criterion in question does not apply. The draft also regulates the application for a residence permit for study purposes, the settling of foreigners in Estonia after their studies, and family members of foreign students settling in Estonia and paying scholarships to foreign students.

Machine translation from Estonian. The official text remains authoritative.
