What do I need to know before moving to Estonia?

Answer this Question

When we asked people what advice they would give someone preparing to move to Estonia, they said...

"Estonia is a small country in Northern Europe with a population of 1.3 million people. It is a member of the European Union and the Schengen Area, and has a modern economy with a high standard of living. The official language is Estonian, but English is widely spoken. The currency is the Euro. Estonia has a temperate climate with cold winters and mild summers. Expats should be aware that the cost of living in Estonia is relatively high compared to other countries in the region. Healthcare is of a high standard and is free for EU citizens. Expats should also be aware that the country has a high rate of internet penetration, making it one of the most digitally advanced countries in the world," commented one expat who made the move to Estonia.
