Estonia should make it easier to hire workers from outside the EU when companies cannot find staff.

The arrival of workers from outside the EU is limited by an annual quota and, in many cases, by a minimum required salary. Companies want more flexibility; others fear it would push wages down or make integration harder.

Of the 7 parties with a position on this question: 3 in favour, 1 in between and 3 against.

The annual immigration quota should not be increased.

Each year the law caps residence permits for people from outside the EU at around 0.1% of the population (about 1,300 places). There are exceptions, for example for specialists, students and researchers.
