Travel document requirements for visitors

Citizens of European Union (EU) and European Economic Area (EEA) countries - Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Germany, Greece, Finland, France, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Liechtenstein, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, The Netherlands, United Kingdom - or Switzerland are required to have only a valid passport or an ID card as a travel document when entering Estonian territory.

Persons who need to apply for a visa to enter Estonia (Schengen territory) should consider that:

• the passport must be valid at least three months after the expiration of the requested visa period
• the passport must be issued within the previous 10 years
• the passport must contain at least two blank pages
• persons 15 years and older must possess their own travel document with photo
• children 7 to 15 years of age, if entered into a parent's passport, must have his/her photo in the parents' passport. Children under the age of 7, if entered into a parent's passport, need not have a photo in the parent's passport.

Failure to meet these requirements will result in the visa application being considered incomplete and it will not be processed.

Persons not requiring a visa shall present a passport at the border crossing upon entry into Estonia. A child 7-15 years old, if entered into a parent's passport, must have their photo in the parent's passport.

A visa application for a child travelling without his or her parent must be accompanied by the parents' notarised letter of consent confirming that the child may travel alone or accompanied by a specified person.
