Estonia Startup Visa Application 🇪🇪
Estonia Startup Visa is one of the most innovative startup visa programs in Europe.
Both Estonia’s digital government system and the country’s vibrant startup ecosystem offer a great opportunity for entrepreneurs who want to expand their businesses in Europe.
The Estonia Startup Visa program, like other startup visa programs, is a program launched specifically for startup founders with a digital business model. Your startup is not expected to achieve the required turnover in order to receive approval for the startup visa application.
With your properly prepared startup business plan and video presentation, your application can be made online and will be completed in as little as 4 weeks.
There is no interview during the application.
Startup founders and their close family members, whose startup visa application is approved, can then apply for a long-term residence permit through the Estonian Embassies and obtain a residence permit card for 1-5 years from Estonia at the first application.
Founders are not required to establish a company in Estonia when applying for a startup visa. After your startup visa is approved, it is necessary to establish a company in Estonia when you proceed to the residence permit application stage, and residence permits are issued on behalf of all founders through the company they established in Estonia.
Spouses of the founders and their children, if any, also have the right to have a residence permit depending on the founders.
🚀 Digital Nomad, based on its experience in the European startup ecosystem and thanks to the hundreds of applications it has practiced, provides one-on-one support to entrepreneurs in this important process, so that entrepreneurs with a suitable business model can submit their startup visa applications to the Estonian startup committee in the most accurate way and receive a very high rate of approval.
