Working
Finding a job
You can find out what part-time jobs are available by consulting notice boards around your institution, looking in local newspapers and Jobcentres, and visiting your college or university careers office. Many institutions now have their own 'job shop', which displays part-time and holiday vacancies and, sometimes, issues job vacancy bulletins.
The careers service can also provide you with extensive information and advice about employment, training and further study (including opportunities after graduation, work permits, and work experience opportunities), and practical help with job-hunting and making applications.
You can start already here in Estonia by looking at the European Union EURES website.
Registration
If you plan to work in the UK you have to obtain your National Insurance Number from a National Insurance Office. As a student you are allowed to earn up to 470 GBP a year without having to pay taxes.
From 1 May 2004 Estonian nationals who find a job in the United Kingdom are required to apply to register with the Home Office under the new "Worker Registration Scheme" as soon as they find work.
Those registered will be provided with a worker's registration certificate. The worker's registration certificate will be issued for 12 months. It confirms that they can work and reside in the UK while they are working in that job. If they change jobs before they have worked for 12 months the certificate will lapse and they will have to renew their registration.
Once an individual has completed 12 months work they may apply for an EEA residence permit.
Further information is available on the Worker Registration Scheme website.
