Estonia Schengen Visa 2026
Step back in time as you wander the cobblestone streets of Tallinn's Old Town, a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1997, which has remained largely unchanged since the 13th century. Think only about the adventure in Estonia and never about obtaining a visa to West India.
Follow our step-by-step guidelines, starting by keeping these documents ready:
A passport which should be valid for at least 3 months beyond your Schengen exit and have at least two blank pages.
A complete Schengen visa application.
Two recent passport-size photographs.
A travel medical insurance valid across the Schengen area with a minimum coverage of €30,000.
A travel itinerary which includes your flight reservations, accommodations, etc.
Bank statements for the last 3 months, 2 years of ITR, 3 months of salary slips, an NOC from your employer, and business proof if you are self-employed.
Self-employed, retired, or applicants who are minors may be required to provide additional supporting documents.

Once your visa is approved, your passport stamped with your Estonia visa will be delivered right to your visa.
Now, let’s discuss some common questions that you may have about getting an Estonian visa:
Am I eligible to visit other Schengen countries with my Estonian Schengen visa?
Yes, you are eligible to visit all 29 Schengen countries with your Estonian Schengen visa. Just make sure you enter Estonia first or stay in Estonia the longest.
Can I land in Finland or any other Schengen country first with my Estonian Schengen visa?
Yes, you can enter Finland or any other Schengen country first with your Estonian Schengen visa. Keep in mind, however, that you will be required to stay in Estonia for the longest period.
How long can I stay in the Schengen area with my Estonian Schengen visa?
You can stay in the Schengen area for a maximum of 90 days in any period of 180 days.
Apply at least 4 to 6 weeks before your travel day, especially during peak seasons like summers (June to August) and December holidays. Always book your appointment in your city of residence. If you have given Schengen biometrics in the last 59 months, you may not need to submit them again. Double-check that your flight bookings, hotel reservations, and financial documents match your travel dates. Carry sufficient funds for your trip. The embassy will review your financial records against your planned itinerary and accommodations.
