Long-stay (D) visa
Foreigner from outside the European Union who´s working period at TalTech is up to 1 year should apply for long-stay visa (D-visa) prior the arrival. D-visa may be issued for single or multiple entries into Estonia with a period of validity up to twelve months and with the period of stay up to 365 days. Receiving a D-visa takes approximately 2 weeks.
All non-EU foreigners whose working period exceeds 1 year should apply for temporary residence permit (TRP). Processing temporary residence permit takes approximately 2 months and therefore, we suggest to apply for D-visa simultaneously with the temporary residence permit.
You should apply for D-visa at the closest Estonian Embassy in your country or abroad.
You can prefill the D-visa application form online here.
