Italy to Issue Schengen Visas for Estonia in Kosovo

As of 8 April 2012, Italy will be representing Estonia for the issuing of Schengen visas in Kosovo.
Foreign Minister Urmas Paet stated that these types of agreements make it easier for people to visit Estonia. “Our goal is for Estonia to be represented as broadly as possible all over the world,” said Foreign Minister Paet. “We also want for the visa application process to be client-friendly and less complicated,” Paet added.

Estonia has concluded representation agreements for the issuing of Schengen visas with Austria, Spain, the Netherlands, Lithuania, Latvia, Poland, France, Germany, Finland, Slovenia, Denmark, Hungary, and Switzerland. Currently Estonia is represented in a total of 84 countries.

Applications for short-term visas can be submitted to the representations of countries representing Estonia. To apply for a long-tern visa it is still necessary to go to the nearest Estonian representation.
