Visas for Estonia, without the guesswork

Short stays in Estonia run on the shared Schengen rules โ€” one C visa (or none, for exempt passports) covers all 29 countries. Everything else is national: where you apply, who runs the centres, and every stay over 90 days.

How Estonia takes applications

Official portal: Ministry of Foreign Affairs โ†’

Application centres: VFS Global in many countries; represented by other member states where Estonia has no mission.
