The employer must generally pay at least the Estonian average gross salary, with the exact rate depending on the employment category and a coefficient.
Estonia ties the residence permit for employment to a salary criterion: the employer must normally pay at least the average gross monthly salary in Estonia, adjusted by a coefficient that varies with the employment category (for example, top specialists face a higher multiplier). Where no specific salary rate applies, the remuneration must at least allow for subsistence in Estonia. The exact figures are updated periodically by the authorities, so confirm the current rate on the official source rather than relying on a fixed number.
