Erasmus+ Short Term Mobility (5-30 days)

Erasmus+ offers the opportunity for higher education institutions to send students and staff abroad (in other Programme countries or other Partner countries) to study, teach, or train at participating institutions carried out under Erasmus + KA131 program. International cooperation between HEIs in these countries is established through bilateral inter-institutional agreements of cooperation.

The following information will help you understand that process and will guide you through the essential steps, from applying for these opportunities to preparing for your arrival and accessing key contacts and resources.

Health Insurance

If you are a EU citizen please obtain a European Health Insurance card before your trip to Estonia. Additional information about the card can be found here. We also recommend getting additional health and travel insurance for your stay in Estonia since Tallinn University doesn't offer health insurance.

Visa Information

If you are non-EU student, who does not need a visa to enter Estonia but you are staying in Estonia for more than three months, they you have to apply for the long-term visa - D-visa - In Estonia. Please book an appointment online.

Green Traveling and top-up

Tallinn University is an environmentally friendly university, and we try to promote a sustainable mindset and behaviour, not just in words but also in deeds. Tallinn University has joined the Green Academic Footprint initiative of the Network of Universities from the Capitals of Europe (UNICA) in order to participate in the process of making the principles of sustainable development part of everyday life.

We encourage our students to embrace sustainable practices both on campus and in their daily lives, including opting for eco-friendly transportation options. Students who use low-emissions means of transport for the main part of their travel, such as bus, train or car-pooling, have the right to apply for Erasmus+ green traveling top-up. 

The travel distance represent a single way distance from the place of origin to the venue, whereas the amount covers the contribution to the return trip to and from the venue.
