If working in Estonia on a Work Permit, you are subject to paying local taxes. Usually your company will take care of the paperwork for you and register you into the Estonian Healthcare system once you have been approved by the migration office to work.

If you are here, and obtaining a residence permit for study, or retirement, you will need to purchase private health insurance. Its very affordable, for basic family doctor coverage, expect to pay 200-250 euros every 6 months. Better insurance, of course increases price with coverage.

Visit www.ergo.ee. If you apply for insurance, they will conduct an HIV test to confirm you are healthy and not a liability. Make your first payment, and receive your insurance card. **Having valid insurance is a requirement for obtaining a residence permit, if not here for working purposes. If you have an international insurance plan, consider high likely hood that it is not acceptable to Estonian Migration Authorities.

Hope this helps
