In my opinion (as an Estonian) one should also consider the overall political situation in today's Europe and be aware about our geopolitical position and complicated history. I don't want to sound too pessimistic but our region may not be the most stabile one when the existing political tensions in Europe (and in the world) will escalate, which I hope won't happen of course. I really wish that we can live in peace now and in the future but we still remember through our family stories about those times that were really dark and horrendous for our little country and nation. It all happened not too long ago.
@@martinkoitmae6655 right you are. they (mostly western analytics) say: no sane head of state would attack NATO; or: no normal country would even dream of attacking or confronting NATO countries. but, if you imagine pictures 'Russia and Putin' on one hand and 'sane and normal' on other hand, those pictures are so different that they don't even touch each other. and when Trump wins and withdraws USA military support from here, or is stupid enough to do smth stupid, what happens to displease Russia... boom! maybe Pakistan is safer? but i don't like hot climate.
@@martinkoitmae6655 I sincerely hope it will never happen but in current circumstances and developments nothing can be ruled out. Nobody really believed they'll invade Ukraine either. It was a bit different case in general of course but we can't be too naive about russia's intentions.
@@martinkoitmae6655 I'm pretty sure that majority of Western countries (even on government level) didn't still believe that they'll start a full war against other independent country. We have been under soviet occupation and have more realistic understandings.
This is for Estonians to decide how many foreigners we are willing to accept. Just come and live and who cares about the tiny local culture/language/traditions is a very disrespectful way to go.
Hi Mr. Mannan, Thank you for the valuable information regarding Estonian residency and business. I’m a Bangladeshi citizen currently living in Kuwait with my family. I work as an IT Helpdesk Support at a private university here. I’m planning to move to a peaceful and natural Schengen country to start a small home-based business and live a tranquil life. I would greatly appreciate your honest suggestions. Thank you.
What type of visa would one apply for- for retirement purposes? We are indeed in the US and are looking at Estonia. Are there specific places you would recommend for very large families to immigrate to?
Love is age related. Young people are going to have a more international mindset. Older people are far less likely to speak English or to have a Western mentality. Some may want to marry because they want to get out, but EU citizenship has removed a lot of that pressure. So, to a greater extent, you can trust a Balt to be in love with you and not just want something from you. My wife is native Lithuanian and I am US-born. We live in Vilnius. It is easy to get casual friends who want the stimulation and prestige of a foreign contact, but it is a lot harder to find someone who will help when the chips are down. So, your partner will hopefully help, but you are likely to be expected by everyone else to stand on your own two feet. If you are not reasonably fluent in the local language, you will be even further isolated. What do I mean by a different mindset? The sense of humour is likely to be different. You are not likely to have a burping contest in the Baltics, esp. with a woman. Robin Williams impressions will probably mean nothing to a Balt. The approach to medicine and law is liable to differ. Unconscious, I got myself up and walked home instead of going to hospital. All I know is that I left the flat alone to visit a shop and woke up a couple hours later in bed with a bump on my head. This makes no sense to a local. It is illegal to strike your own child in the Baltics (unlike in the US where it is often considered very good and necessary parenting: spare the rod and spoil the child). And while there is a certain level of psychological manipulation here, it is not usually terrorism. And that means you might need to let your partner do a lot of the childrearing. If you are a woman, many people are not going to really appreciate your childhood dishes. A Balt's very idea of an ideal marriage is likely to be closer to what your grandparents imagined it to be than how social media defines it today. These are all things that stress a relationship. I have been married for 25 years; so, it can be done. But I have seen few international relationships and few have succeeded. I would say ours succeeded because we gave each other enough space to be ourselves and we both see marriage as more a joint venture than an adventure. We solve our problems together. Thus, my wife is the person I can trust the most in the world. She still has close family, so I will presume the same for her.
I recently completed my Bachelors in Multimedia and Animation. I also have 1 year of freelance web3 graphic design experience. Im willing to learn to UI/UX development. Should i consider Estonia? I have also read about masters in artificial intelligence in UX specialization from Tallinn University. What are your views on it sir? Thank you. 😅
Even with ethic heritage I am weary of making the move at the moment. Though I would like to fly for the Estonian Air Force and help defend my heritage. Aitäh Manan!
Thanks for the information. I'm planning to do my Ph.D. in social sciences from the University of Tartu Estonia. And I'm from Pakistan. Should I go to Estonia if admitted? I'm an unmarried female and planning to settle tgere, so what do you suggest me?
It all depends on where you're coming from and, therefore, your options. As an IT-Professional, you'll make a lot more money in Switzerland; on top of that, Switzerland has some of the highest living standards.
Short answer - no. Especially for 3rd country citizens, immigration policy of Estonia is pretty shitty, they basically doing everything to kick you out after 5 years, they not interested keep people who spent a lot of time integrating. And the biggest con is amount of ruslands here

It’s pretty unlikely that Russia will attack a NATO country. But not impossible of course.

Why do you assume foreigners don’t learn Estonian? Manan for example has B1 or B2 in Estonian and is a citizen as well.

Can i take my mom to estonia 🇪🇪 as a student ( for bs) as i am his only son and here is no one to take care of her
Don't think so, best is to ask Estonia Police at PPA.ee

Switzerland is also quite expensive with very strict nationality laws. But yes it all depends on where you’re from and your goals.
Much expensive
salaries are higher@@rodrigolopes284

I believe you can study it in TalTech or University of Tartu.

those words about not moving to country just bc 1 person, those are golden. 🪙 ofc apply not only to Estonia, but overall.

If you like tech and don’t mind cold weather you should move here, if not it might be difficult. That’s the advice I would give.
And you don't mind living without sun for majority of the year.
@@MananAnwar Yeah, exactly. Although summers are quite nice as it never gets very dark and there is plenty of sunlight as well.
