Definition

The Specialist Employee Initiative, or SEI, is an Estonian route label used for some specialist employment cases in the country's work-migration system. It is relevant because it signals a narrower route logic than the broad default employee path and can affect how the employer presents the role and why the case qualifies. In practice, applicants need to understand the initiative as part of Estonia's employer-led route architecture rather than as a fully separate immigration universe.
