What would you add to this list ?
I think my main drawback is having to give up my citizenship if i want to get the Estonian one !
Goverment corruption ;)
As estonian who lived some years in UK and some years in Sweden I can say - you got exactly these main points. One thing I want to add. Iin Estonia is a very good level of schooling. you don't have to be in a private school for that, a regular public school is enough to get a decent education.
Thank you, I will be sharing more personal insights in a news letter I am launching soon, would be great to have you as a reader.

I agree. It is not easy to find friends in Estonia
I know. I'm Estonian myself 🤣🤣
👀
Even saying this as a white local, I don't think it's a major issue for a person of colour to make a successful career in Estonia. It is all about the language. Estonia doesn't have a tradition of systemic racism. If you make an effort to learn the local language and don't act like some kind of superior dick, you are fine. There is a negative example, however. There was this rather well off Indian family living in Tallinn, who were firm believers in the traditional caste system. According to their beliefs the locals were their inferiors and when the Estonians didn't act servile enough, they cried racism. Let's say they don't live in Estonia any more.
systemic racism doesn´t exist in any country. It's a myth invented by communists.
true. as long as you speak the language, i will consider you estonian. that is the only "racism" i have.
the prosperity index indicates that estonia is a highly developed country at least when compared to neighbouring countries. but that also means they are also one of the strictest countries for immigration in europe as well as the language problem of having to speak estonian, russian and english

I am from Latvia and the sun problem here is the same I think. Through Fall and Winter it is kinda depressing and I take vitamin D , ofcourse 🙂
how is lativa for IT graduates? thinking to move from pakistan
I guess it makes sense to apply for a job and see how it goes. I have no idea what documents you need to stay or work.
I am from Lithuania.
Gracias amigo. ❤
Yes, there are (cloudy) days in November / December when you have to keep the light on all day long, but then the snow falls and towns are noticeably lighter (streetlights reflect from snow to clouds to snow...) And eventually sun shines and suddenly whole world is blindingly white and sparkly under clear blue sky.
For the acute dark-time depression God gave us planes to Egypt and Thailand.
Around midsummer the sunsets last forever, you can have a BBQ admiring the sky take a nap, and at 2 am you can still take a walk without a torch. Then come the dark and soft nights of August, first colors of September... and next round of cursing the rain and hoping for white Christmas.
Thanks, Manan ❤
Hey Manan. Thx for the video! Agree with your opinion 100%. Actually I thought I was the only one who felt that way. Glad, that we think similarly.
Your coments were really smart AND right to the point with your experience..😊
drawback 1, i love cloudy days, storms n rain.. so would be a pro 🙌🏻✨ but over years? idk yet 🥱
Yep. Over years it can be difficult.
Thank you for this information 😊
Thnx for sharing
Ootan põnevusega esimest eestikeelset videot Mananilt🙂
I would love Estonia. I hate the sun and the hot weather!
Definitely you will then.
Thank you.
You're welcome!
Such a nice information manan 👍👍
Hello! about point 3 of cons. What do you know about artists, I am a jazz pianist and Im traveling to Estonia on june this year! :) Great video helped a lot!
I’m sure you’ll have no problem finding work here. Ring me up on IG when you are here
Hello. I'm also work as musician and would like to know how was your experience in the music scene. Thank You!!
Manan kindly make a video how to apply for Residence with family
If you want personal help you can DM me and book a call.
Is there a country in the world with a population of ~1 million that easily integrates newcomers? A small country needs to preserve its identity. At the moment, we have globalists in power, which in the long term is somewhat of a threat to the survival of our nation and culture. One of the reasons for Estonia's low crime rate is that we have no gangs. Let in the immigrants who create their own communities (country within a country) and it will change, Sweden is already seeing it.
At the same time, Estonia's low crime rate is also somewhat of a mystery to me. I remember a time when there were gangs in Estonia, both Russian and Estonian gangs, and there was always crime. Now you can walk around the city every night and not see a suspicious gang.
The time you are referring to is probably 90s. This was a hard time for all formerly soviet occupied countries. I mean, most laws had to be remade. Nearly everything broke down for a decade. The birth rate fell, divorce rate rose as well as crime.
However, Estonia might just be most succesful of overcoming that compared to all other formerly soviet occupied countries. The Russians tried democracy as well and never succeeded and therefore are once more happy to have a “czar”.
The Estonian gangs moved to sweden.
Get help and lay off the xenophobia.
@@CitizenScorpio America is a different country. Although I think that it’s sometimes a good idea to become more diverse, most Estonians disagree.
Hi manan nice video 😊 are u living in Tallinn?
Yes I am
@@MananAnwar I’m planning a visit to Tallinn , inshallah next year for the Eid holidays just for 3 days , I don’t know anyone in Tallinn ,
The weather for the last 2 weeks has been very tolerable, almost nice. (IMO).. Is this the bad weather everyone talks about?
Bad weather is when you forget how it feels in the sun because you haven't seen it for 3 months.
@@MananAnwar Sun is overrated! I prefer cloudy weather, unless im on vecation!
Having adequete cloudcover above you makes life much easyer. Its not as bright and its not as hot. Brightness can be a problem when ground is covered by snow and hotness in the middle of summer.
15-20 degree weather with cloudcover is perfect weather, atleast in my book!
Hi, what do you know about midwifes? I was thinking to come in Estonia.
Hey, thank you for your video. My background is in education and I have an opportunity to teach in Estonia. However, I have been trying to get into IT (UX design) for the last year and building up my portfolio. You said that there are not many opportunities outside of IT, but lots of opportunities within IT. Would those IT opportunities apply to someone like me, who's just getting started in that field?
Dream on. No one wants to hire some beginner here.
@@marguskiis7711 I am a certified AWS solutions architect and devops with a year’s experience. Do you think it’s a good idea to move there?
Weather is all ways good
i am estonian
Im from 100% IT background thing is can you find affordable housing ?
Compared to UK or USA, yes.
thanks
Welcome
Shop workers only get about €6.50 /hour which is why you see so many bosses riding around in big Mercedes and BMW's. Food prices in Estonia are the same as any EU country. Working for a couple of cups of coffee an hour is not really on so the other big disadvantage is the lack of respect for every day workers.
Some food in Estonia is more expensive than Finland

Can we meet on estonia? I like to show a Pärnu and Vändra :D
Sure. Hit me up on IG
Hey Manan !!
I'm from India and I'm searching for a job opportunity in Estonia and I'm just 21 years old girl and I'm already a pharmacist but right now I'm working with UK domain office so is there any chance I can come to Estonia to work
welcome
Yes ofc if you work hard you are welcome, but you need to learn local language
search for some kind of agent or work holiday or by school to exchange. Minimal Estonian language skill is needed mostly, if you can find international English speaking job then its easy. Look for CV example have nicely done and present yourself.
The salaries of pharmacists are above average in Estonia and it means it is hard to survive here.
I know an Indian lady but she is speaking very fluent Estonian. Only English is not enough to surive here.
You are wrong about one thing: Estonia lacks engineers. Severely lacks engineers. We desperately need more of them and companies are willing to pay a lot simply because there are so few of them. Engineers have huge opportunities to really make a difference here and be compensated well for doing it.
IT Engineers only.
@@MananAnwar Nono, actual engineers. Especially mechanical engineers. At the current rate, more mechanical engineers are retiring due to old age than young people go into engineering school.
The mechanical engineers get so little salaries that there is no point to learn that.
Where are you from Brother ??
Always asking the pointless questions
Ma elan eestonias
Hii, I am from India,Kerala. Me and my husband planning to migrate to Estonia. I am planning to pursue my masters (MBA) and my husband is MTA graduate.Will it be difficult for us to get job there??
You can check out the moving to Estonia checklist in the description. Or you can also email me from the same link.
Iam also start process to move to estonia.. I don't know how its workss..
You can work for bolt
As an Estonian, I will say for the integration, We generally do not care where you are from, what your sexuality is, etc etc. What needs to be understood is that you will be treated with suspicion if you look like you are going to approach with the intent of interacting.
Also an important note for black people, the proper Estonian word is "Neeger", with the alternative being "Mustlane", however the alternative is the offensive one as it has roots in the word "Musts" meaning Dirty.
"Mustlane" is gipsy, not a black person.
"Neeger" is not some proper word in Estonia, it has humiliating meaning for 20 years at least. The skinheads and other far right people LOVE to use it everywhere with purpose.
It’s really bad here. Don’t even think about moving to Estonia. It’s really really bad. I mean.. really bad. Don’t come. Please. Don’t!
So bad...
Considering that sun is getting increasingly more dangerous thanks to climate change, and the nice, warm, sunny countries are suffering more and more from terrible heatwaves and forest fires, I would not complain so much about the lack of sun here in Estonia anymore.
Not yet, maybe in 50-60 years.
@@MananAnwar What is in 50-60 years?
@@kessekesse9544 I know right?
We are like japanese living in europa, we are cold and closed but once u learn to speak our languange and dont try to bring ur shitty life style/nationality and religion with you then we can be great friends.
I bet you never had any Indian/Pakistani/Japanese/Chinese/Ukrainian/Russian/Thai food.
