Estland: bra att veta före resan
Det viktigaste
- Russian citizens face external-border restrictions even with a Schengen visa; check exceptions before booking.
- Wear a reflector when walking on roads in darkness or poor visibility.
Inresa och visum
Estonia follows Schengen short-stay rules: visa-exempt visitors share a 90-day allowance in any 180 days across the area. EES biometric registration takes place at external borders; it is not an online pre-arrival application. ETIAS is not operating; official diplomatic updates expect 2027, with no fixed launch date.
Passets giltighet: Non-EU short-stay visitors: issued within the previous 10 years and valid at least 3 months after planned Schengen departure.
Vid gränsen kan man fråga efter
- Carry evidence of accommodation, onward travel and funds; allow time for external border checks.
