According to the Estonian Aliens Act, a long-stay (D) visa can be applied for in a number of circumstances such as study, work or family relations. Person can apply for a D-visa if it is proved that the need to stay in Estonia is more than 90 days in 180 day period. D-visa may be issued for the period of stay of up to 365 days within twelve consecutive months.

A long-stay visa must be applied for in person at an Estonian representation which handles visa applications or at a service point of the Police and Border Guard Board in Estonia.  If there is no Estonian representation in your country of residence, you may apply for a visa at any Estonian representation handling visa applications.

Applications are examined and decided within 30 days from the date of lodging. The passport of the applicant does not have to stay at our Embassy during this period of time.

The Government of the Republic of Estonia has approved a sanction imposing a restriction on citizens of the Russian Federation and the Republic of Belarus applying for an Estonian visa.
