We help you adapt
We are grateful for your decision to come and live in Estonia. As a country, we consider it important to contribute to the smooth adaptation of every new foreigner* arriving in Estonia. Adaptation is about acquiring the basic knowledge and skills to cope independently in Estonia and sets the stage for successful integration later on.
Based on the decision of the Ministry of Culture, the implementation of the adaptation programme will be mainly the responsibility of the Integration Foundation from 2023:
- we ensure that foreigners arriving in Estonia* the opportunity to participate in the Settle in Estonia adaptation programme;
- we advise people arriving in Estonia and organisations hosting foreigners in issues related to adaptation.
For answers to further questions about the adaptation programme or other adaptation-related issues, please contact info@settleinestonia.ee.
