Important Travel Document Information – Please Read
If you are visiting Estonia for less than 90 days, you will need an Estonian Schengen Visa. Schengen Member States are European nations that have removed border restrictions between themselves.
We recommend that you submit your application as soon as feasible. This guarantees that your Estonia Schengen visa gets approved in time for your travel. You will not be permitted to board an aircraft unless you have a valid visa document.
When applying for an Estonia Schengen, please choose one of the following options:
A Schengen Visa is a legally recognized travel document. It enables a person to travel freely across the Schengen Area. For stays up to 90 days in either tourism or business.
Estonia is part of the Schengen area, which comprises 26 European nations. For foreign travel, the region generally functions as a single jurisdiction with a uniform visa policy.
Nationals of those countries who have yet to achieve an agreement on liberalization will need to get this travel permit before visiting Estonia or any other area of Europe.
Fill out the application form fully and honestly after downloading it. You may also online fill out the Estonia Schengen Visa application form and then print a printed copy.
If you want to remain in Estonia for longer than 90 days, you must apply for a residence permit or a national D-Visa rather than a Schengen Visa.
Regardless of how long you want to remain, your long-stay visa must be valid for three months to one year. To extend your stay beyond the period of your visa, you must apply for a residence permit at a prefecture.
Throughout its validity period, the long-stay visa is equivalent to a Schengen visa, enabling you to travel and stay in the Schengen zone outside of Estonia for up to 90 days in any 180-day period, under the same conditions as if you had a Schengen visa.
If you are a citizen of a country that does not need a visa to enter the Schengen zone, you may travel visa-free and apply for your national visa/residence permit from inside the country you desire to remain in permanently.
The Schengen area is a zone in which 26 European countries have abolished their internal borders to allow for free and unrestricted movement of people, while also adhering to common rules for controlling external borders and combating criminality by bolstering the common judicial system and police cooperation.
Except for Ireland and the nations that will soon be part of Romania, Bulgaria, Croatia, and Cyprus, the Schengen Area encompasses the majority of EU countries. Denmark, Iceland, Switzerland, and Lichtenstein are all members of the Schengen zone despite not being EU members.
A Visa is required for any third national wishing to enter Estonia or any other Schengen country. It could be a short-stay Schengen C-visa for stays of up to 90 days or a national D-visa / residence permit for longer stays in the country.
You should submit any applications for visas as soon as possible since the wait times for interviews vary depending on the location, the time of year, and the kind of visa. Check to see how long the wait is for an appointment at the location where you will be applying.
A foreign national who has a valid Estonia Schengen visa is allowed to present themselves at a Schengen port-of-entry (often an airport) and submit an application to be given permission to visit Estonia. Although we can make sure that the Visa Application process goes off without a hitch, having a visa that is issued does not guarantee that you will be allowed entry into the Schengen zone.
Schengen visas are utilised by business persons, tourists, speciality workers, and students who want to stay in Estonia for a limited time for specific travel purposes. Those who apply for a Schengen visa must show the visa Applications Centre that they intend to leave the Schengen Zone at the end of their temporary stay.
Once you submit an application, it will go through our 8 point check to ensure there will be no issues with your authorization. Sometimes it can take up to 72 hours to schedule your consultation call with the attorney but you will be kept up to date from the moment your application is submitted.

Generally you first Schengen visa will be issued for the duration of your stay. Future Visa Applications may be granted for multiple entry for a number of years.
