What happens to my Estonian employment residence permit if I change employers or lose my job?

Because the residence permit for employment is granted for a specific job that met the salary and labour-market conditions, switching employers or ending the employment affects the validity of the permit. You typically need to notify the authorities and ensure a new qualifying basis (a new permit or registration) is in place. Do not assume the permit automatically carries over to a new role; address the change promptly to avoid a gap in your legal status.
