On 27 February 2008, he debuted for Estonia in a friendly match against Poland, when he came on as a substitute in the 67th minute.[6] He instantly became a regular and was the only player to appear in all 14 matches for the team in that year.[7] On 6 September 2011, Vunk scored his first International goal for Estonia in a 4–1 victory over Northern Ireland[8][9] after being very close to his first international goal in the previous game against Slovenia.[10]
