Estonian Startup Visa

The Estonian Startup Visa is a program that allows non-EU entrepreneurs to live and work in Estonia while developing their innovative startup businesses. Designed to attract talented founders, it provides a streamlined process to obtain residence permits, enabling entrepreneurs to establish and grow their companies within Estonia’s digital-friendly environment. The visa requires applicants to have a viable business idea, meet certain financial criteria, and be approved by the Estonian Startup Committee. It offers a pathway for international founders to access Estonia’s thriving startup ecosystem, access European markets, and benefit from the country's digital infrastructure.
