It has been 8 years this month since I moved from my home country of Pakistan to Estonia.
There are a lot of reasons that are advertised about moving to this small European country, but for me at the end there was only one reason left that made me stay and really love this place
By far this has been the most life-changing and rewarding experience for me.

I lived in Estonia for 7 years I didn't come here to reinvent myself: I didn't want to reinvent myself and even if I wanted I could have done it in many other countries. The reasons which made me move to Estonia are:
- free public transport
- cheap taxis
- bicycle friendly streets
- livable cities with lots of parks, meadows and trees
- e-governance
- abundant and highly paid IT jobs
- meritocracy
Thanks for commenting and watching.
@krige and the drugs apparently 😂 bike friendly??
@@phil_the_explorer3068 I guess it depends on what you compare it to. Compared to my country of origin here is several order of magnitude better.
this makes me want to leave lithuania and go to estonia
what is average salary for react dev, with 8 years of exp?
Hey Manan,
I got to say that your video hit me in the sweet spot. I totally agree with you. The freedom we can express here, is what kept me in Estonia. And I've also been able to name it only after many years here. I love to say that in Estonia we can be very "Undefined". In France I always felt like I have to fit in one of the predefined box (Engineer, nerd, hippy...). But in Estonia, I can be a guy ridding unicycle around, performing where I want. And no one will juge me for it, and even better I feel that people value this new perspective I bring in the country.
I love living here, because I feel free to be fully myself. And I feel people value me doing it.
Means a lot to me Sylvain. Sometimes I think I am the only one but then I get a reminder once a while. Thanks again.
Thank you manan such a valuable information you share.
Thanks for your information brother
im an estonian living in Berlin youre inspired me to move back to Estonia
DM me when you’re here
I find it very good how you point out, how scary this freedom can be. Keep up your good videos!
Thank you
Oh, those who seek an easier life. How about considering the option of staying, facing challenges head-on, and working towards elevating your native country to a position of pride?
Peace and happiness to you my brother🙏
Thank you for your video and thoughts, it was very interesting. I am an Estonian who lived abroad for over 9 years and then decided to come back. There certainly were more rules on how to behave in the UK and in that sense it is nice and chill to be back in Estonia. :-) I think living abroad also liberates something in you - being away from home and family gives you that distance and space to do and be your own thing. But at some point I felt I needed a change and realised I wanted to come back.
Thank you for your comment and your thoughts. Please keep commenting as I make future content as well.
thanks for your videos. i like your mindset and perfect English. greetings to Pakistan!
Thank you. And I hope you keep on commenting and watching :)
@@MananAnwar for sure ❤
This video turned out to be a motivational video , I liked it :)
Glad you liked it Zeyad.
It's not about the special benefits but the rare combination of benefits that makes Estonia special. Their individualistic culture and low amount of immigrants make Estonia great. ( it's good to accept immigrants little by little for adaptation.). They're not religious fanatics, the place is calm and peaceful, not crowded, and at the same time modern.
Nice:) I am moving to Estonia in a couple of weeks. I think sometimes people also overthink moving. Look at it this way: New experience, opportunities to grow and you don't have to make the absolute best decision about the destination before you go - How could you? Most things you can only understand if you are already there. Just go for it. It's an adventure.
Thank you for commenting. Where you are moving from ? Is it within EU ?
@@MananAnwar Yes! From Hungary. Before, I lived in Japan and the UK, but Hungary is my home country where I stayed for the past 2 years. Now I applied for a job in Estonia, so here comes the next chapter.
@@jogareneszanszfor which job you applied?
Thanks for the curious thought!
1000+ years of struggle with nature and neighbors .. builds up to something.
It does
@@MananAnwar Estonia is for Estonians firstly, and Northern Europeans ONLY! Get out.
Who let the trolls out?
mi grandma is in estonia and he likes it and the forest and some plases are cool in estonia and im estonian
Tere
can you please make a video on how did you get into writing
Nobody on TH-cam has ever asked me this question before. Makes me think 🤔
Hello sir I’m from Australia please your Video very very good I’m Love ❤️. your video. Zaman Australia. I’m coming to visit. Soon. Thanks so so much.
Thanks and welcome
I like your videos! Keep it up! I live in Estonia and can say its a very calm here and you can do most stuff online (vote, open company, apply for documents, prescribitions etc.) Also most people speak English- since children have to learn it in school since 10 yrs old.
Yes thats a very huge benefit
@@MananAnwar with languages, some argue exact opposite - they say that due to too many people know a language, it's so much harder for them to learn Estonian.
Perhaps a business idea for someone... in the lines of: "AirBNB in Estonian only"
Personally I actually prefer to see much greater linguistic diversity of learnt languages, as it's currently so very biased to just for two languages basically... which in turn tend to affect Estonian language no less than society itself (language isn't just tool of communication, it's also field and processor of information).
AFAIK there are 2 procedures that you can't do online - buy/sell real estate and change marital status (marry/divorce).
You can only now yourself when your outside of your confort zone . You left your country now you know what you’re able to achieve . Are you living in Tallin . I might come in Estonia but not sure in capitale something middle city or next to the see
Mr. A. Manan
Respected sir you are verry good man, sir there is any way to take Nationality verry soon??, and what is the benefits after Nationality??
8 years. Google for benefits.
Have you made a video on Estonian VISA process(from Pakistan)? How much is the bank statement required for study VISA?
please DM me on IG
Estonia not young country, age to Estonia over than 6000 of years. We were under occupations of different countries since 1010's to 1991 from Kievan Rus' to USSR. Today we have strong influence from USA due to friendship with them. Estonia right now most americanized country in the Europe, most of our technological advancements actually came from USA and Japan
Brother I’m international student and i live in USA LOs Angeles and I’m seriously thinking to move ti Estonia and do my PHD over there many people think it’s crazy idea but i looked into The story of Estonian digital history and it’s very appealing to me… do you encourage me ?
DM me
for me the big compelling thing is that it is so rational when it comes to economic policy. it's a neoliberal paradise: free markets and robust social safety nets. e.g. they have a land value tax. that is amazing. taxing land doesn't have dead weight loss. this is why economics nerds all across the world keep talking about land value tax. now if they can get UBI, they'll be in the space age.
I got my EE visa today from Abu Dhabi and coming on Thursday.
Congrats
From wich agency bro??
Interesting. I was born in Estonia and grew up there in 90s. It was pretty tough back in the very early days of Estonian independence. Only recently I have come to realise how crazy times the 90s were.
I moved to Australia 2008 and don't regret it.
When did you last visit Estonia
@@MananAnwar 2014. I planned on visiting this summer, but cancelled. I was a bit worried about the war.
@@tiitsaul9036 it’s very very different now. You’ll be surprised. Can you speak Estonian ?
@@MananAnwar yes I spent my first 22 years of my life in Estonia. I didn't speak English when I left Estonia. My English is good enough now, but never will be as good as my first language.
@@tiitsaul9036 What a big paranoia.
I was born in Estonia and I learned some English and I learn English in school now and I can speak Estonian 🇪🇪🇪🇪🇪🇪🇪🇪🇪🇪
Tere
Can I study in Estonia and work in any other Schengen country?
That is very complicated but short answer is no
I live in States now, but want to move to Estonia 🙈
Sure.
I'm considering retiring in Estonia and certainly not reinventing myself. Reasons? I was born in Europe and wish to return during retirement. Cost of living in Estonia is at least 20% less than I'm paying now. A feeling that Estonia will do well economically in the future. A country that isn't overflowing with immigrants from Northern Africa and other predominantly Muslim countries. Safety. The Estonian respect of privacy and it's a civilized society. Reasonably tax friendly for retirees. These are just some of my reasons to think about retiring in Estonia..
Good luck.
Hehe yeah you want to be a migrant like the other you blame your problems on and drive up the rental prices. Go and f off.
Hi Manan, How much Money we can save if we are working in IT sector in estonia on an average Monthly?
That’s difficult to say without knowing numbers
@@MananAnwar
Ok Manan, let's say 2500 euro per month with basic spending habits just for survival after taxes and living costs how much we can save?
Something under 1000
Unless you are a developer or a specialist in some IT field, you would probably make less than 2500 per month. That said, I earn a similar amount, and with two kids I'm probably saving about 500 per month.
Gotcha ! Where did you learn guitar?
It was a private instructer. A very long time ago.
Im from Srilanka and my husband got job offer as a welder . We are planning to move estonia with kids. Is it good country to settle with kids. Pls let me know your idea ..
Please email me at manan [at] manan.ee, It will be a challenge.
Latvia's history is similar.
That’s quite true.
Mr abdul manan i hope you are fine, sir i have some questions, iam pakistani i live in saudia since 2007 now i want to move estonia, sir my question is how much the average salary of labour and how much experience and how to get estonia Nationality and how much time need to apply for Nationality. Thanks sir
Average salary is around 1500-1700 euros
Experience depends on position
Estonian nationality is 8 years and language exam.
Thanks sir. You already provided us allot of information.. Thanks
I'd love to move to Estonia but I'm Mexican and I have no idea how I could make it to get the working visa 😔😔😔😔😔
It is tough, particularly now, but doable if you are in tech.
I have no knowdlege of IT or anything related to it :'( @@MananAnwar
Bro what about study visa is it good to move here with study visa
Depends what profession
@@MananAnwar bro profession is study but want to settle here
Can I meet you in Tallinn, Will love to make video with you for the students who are following me ? do let me know manan bhai
You can DM me on Twitter
It remains a mystery to whom you`re addressing your speech, when you invite them to move to Estonia, to your countrymen, to fellow believers, or perhaps to dance lovers?🤔😅
Addressing to myself 8 years ago.
Do you speak Estonian well. If you do then translate this. Mis on su lemmik söök.
Biryani 👌🏽
@@MananAnwar where you can buy the best biryani in Tallinn?
Why would you go to Estonia when you could go to Germany where you could speak English?
I would venture to guess that you'd do a whole lot better with English in Estonia than in Germany...
Yep. Estonians are much more fluent in english.
1:25 I would never choose USA! Horrible heathcare, death penalty and weak gun control: no thank you
Thank you for sharing your thoughts.
And it hates white people
kuna miks mitte
Estonia has been occupied by Denmark, Poland, Germany, Sweden, Russia, the Soviet Union. Ethnic Estonians and people who wanted to become Estonians have always spoken the Estonian language. Without learning Estonian you will always remain a foreigner, living temporarily in Estonia.
Miks Eesti)
Miks mitte
@@MananAnwar :D :D
