General information about the project
Integration support Haapsalu City Government and the Union of Estonian Cities and Local Governments (Eesti Linnade ja Valdade Liit) have entered into a partnership agreement within the framework of the project “Support for local governments in providing integration, including adaptation services”. Within the framework of the project, Haapsalu City Government offers services to newly arrived immigrants, people from different linguistic and cultural backgrounds, and repatriates.
Newly arrived immigrants are foreigners who have legally resided in Estonia for less than five years, namely:
- Foreigners who have received a temporary residence permit in Estonia on the basis of the Aliens Act or the Act on Granting International Protection to Aliens.
- Citizens of the European Union who have received a temporary right of residence in Estonia on the basis of the Citizen of the European Union Act.
- Family members of an EU citizen who have received a temporary right of residence in Estonia on the basis of the Citizen of the European Union Act. Residents whose native language and culture differs from Estonian, who have legally resided in Estonia for more than five years and have acquired Estonian citizenship through naturalization, or are stateless persons, or are citizens of another country. Repatriates are adult residents with Estonian citizenship who have returned to Estonia for permanent residence within the last eight months and registered their place of residence in the Estonian population register.
The goal of the project is to facilitate their successful adaptation and integration into the local community, as well as to take into account the needs of residents whose native language differs from Estonian at the local level.
