Estonia: Digital nomad visa (D visa)

Estonia's digital nomad visa is a long-stay D visa for up to 365 days. The e-Residency FAQ sets the monthly income threshold at EUR 4,500 gross of tax, shown with income from the six months before the application.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs long-stay visa table lists 132 euros per day (3,960 euros per month) for teleworking. The checker on this site uses the higher EUR 4,500 figure from the e-Residency FAQ.

A D visa covers up to 365 days and a C visa up to 90 days. The visa cannot be renewed or extended, but you can apply for a second digital nomad visa, which may be granted for a maximum of six months. Total stay is capped at 548 days within 730 consecutive days.

A spouse and a minor child, or an adult child who cannot live independently because of a medical condition or disability, may apply on the same conditions. Spousal visas are decided case by case and same-sex partners can apply. The state fee is EUR 120 for a D visa and EUR 90 for a C visa.
