Estonia announces new requirements for short-term employment registrations and temporary residence permit applications

Effective 1 January 2026, companies sponsoring foreign nationals for short-term employment registrations and temporary residence permits for employment in Estonia will be required to register with the Estonian Business Register. Additionally, companies that sponsor temporary residence permit for employment applications will be required to provide proof of their economic activity for at least six consecutive months immediately preceding the filing of an application. Employers may update their internal processes to ensure compliance and inform impacted employees about the new requirements to mitigate delays and business disruptions.
