Having a PhD degree will make immigration to Estonia easier

Estonian immigration laws have created an easier path to a residence permit for people holding a PhD (Doctorate) degree.

There is a basis for a residence permit called "for settling permanently" and it normally requires that the person has lived in Estonia continuously for at least 3 years within a 5 year period. having a PhD means this condition will not apply to that applicant.

The PhD degree needs to be assessed and approved by Estonia and the authorised body for doing that can be contacted from this website: https://harno.ee/en
