Frequently Asked Questions
Yes, Indian passport holders need a valid visa, specifically a Schengen visa, to travel to Estonia for short stays like tourism, business, family visits, or other approved activities for up to 90 days within 180 days.
Estonia does not offer visa-on-arrival or visa-free entry for Indian citizens.
Yes, Estonia is part of the Schengen Area; hence, with an Estonia visa, you can travel freely to other Schengen Countries without needing additional visas.
Note: The Schengen Area comprises the following 29 European countries: Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Croatia, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Italy, Latvia, Liechtenstein, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, and Switzerland.
Make sure your first point of entry is Estonia or that Estonia is your main destination, as this will align with the requirements of the embassy where you are applying for the visa.
Yes, you can enter and travel to Estonia with a Schengen visa issued by France. However, ideally, you must keep these two rules in mind:
Entry point: According to Schengen rules, you should ideally enter through the country that issued your visa. In this case, France should be your primary entry point into the Schengen Area. After that, you can travel to other Schengen Countries, including Estonia.
Main destination for stay: You should spend the majority of your time in France, as Schengen rules generally require that you apply for a visa from the country where you will spend the most time.
Not meeting the above cases? Worry not! Read our guide on- Getting A Schengen Visa From One Country And Travelling To Another? (Essential Tips & Legal Insights)– to learn more about navigating these situations smoothly while staying compliant with Schengen regulations.
To apply for an Estonia visa, Indian citizens need to submit the following documents:
Visa application form
Passport photo
Valid passport
Cover letter
Travel insurance
Proof of travel
Proof of accommodation
Proof of financial means
Proof of employment status
Visa application form:
A completed and signed Estonia visa application form.
Passport photo:
One recent passport-sized photograph that meets the specific visa photo requirements (e.g., white background, no older than 6 months).
With Axis, you cannot only upload your passport-size photo but also click the picture of yours using your smartphone or desktop camera. Axis automatically adjusts the photo to meet the country’s requirements without hassle.
Valid passport:
Your passport must be valid for at least three months beyond your planned departure from the Schengen Area. It must have been issued within the last ten years and contain at least two blank pages.
With Axis, you cannot only upload your passport pictures but also take a picture of your passport using your smartphone or desktop camera.
Cover letter:
Provide a clear and concise cover letter outlining your personal information, purpose of visit, financial means and intent to return.
Axis will help you with a customizable cover letter during the application process, free of cost.
Travel insurance:
You must have travel insurance that is valid for all Schengen Countries. It should cover at least €30,000 or equivalent for all risks for the entire duration of the trip.
Proof of travel:
Provide proof of roundtrip tickets and proof of intra-Schengen flight reservation, train itinerary or car rental if you are travelling to several Schengen States. Also, provide the travel itinerary.
Axis provides flight reservations for free, allowing you to demonstrate your travel plans without any financial commitment.
Proof of accommodation:
Submit the proof of accommodation for your entire stay in Estonia and the Schengen Area if you are visiting. If invited, submit an invitation letter signed by the inviting person and duly notarised in Estonia.
Axis provides hotel reservations for free, allowing you to demonstrate your travel plans without any financial commitment.
Proof of financial means:
The Estonian government needs proof of your capability to fund your stay. This includes bank account statements for the last three months and ITR acknowledgements for the last two years. The bank statements should be signed and stamped by your bank.
Proof of employment status:
If employed, pay slips for the last 3 months, employment contract and employer’s statement on approval of holidays.
Note: Depending on the specific circumstances mentioned in the visa application, additional documents or a visa interview might be requested.
For an Estonia tourist visa, you must demonstrate that you have sufficient financial means to cover your stay. The requirement is generally set at 70 euros per day of your visit. This means if you plan to stay in Estonia for 10 days, you would need to show proof of a minimum bank balance of 700 euros (70 euros x 10 days).
You can demonstrate your financial stability by providing recent bank statements and pay slips. If you are being sponsored, your sponsor will need to provide a sponsorship letter along with their financial documents, such as bank statements and proof of income, to show that they can support your stay.
If your bank balance fluctuates significantly, it’s important to provide additional context to avoid raising concerns with the visa officer. You can do so by doing the following:
Provide explanations: If there are large deposits or withdrawals, include a brief explanation in your cover letter. For instance, if a large deposit is from a property sale or an annual bonus, mention this.
Submit additional proof: Provide other financial documents, such as fixed deposits, mutual funds, or property documents, to demonstrate overall financial stability.
Tip: Be transparent about your financial situation and ensure all documents are in order to avoid suspicion or delays.
Indians can apply for a Dubai visa through government-authorised channels. Here is the complete application process:
Step 1: You must first contact an authorised sponsor who can apply for a Dubai visa on your behalf.
Callout- Atlys is officially authorised as a sponsor by the Government of UAE.
Step 2: Submit the documents to your sponsor online or as they instruct. You must also pay the applicable visa fee.
Step 3: Once you submit the documents, the sponsor applies for the Dubai visa on your behalf.
Step 4: Upon submission of the visa application, you will receive an application number, which you can use to track your visa application.
Step 5: Once your visa application is approved, your sponsor will send you the approved Dubai e-visa via mail.
Your visa will have the sponsor’s name on it, such as Atlys.
Once your visa is approved, you will receive it digitally via email or through the application channel you used.
After receiving your visa, you must keep a downloaded copy of your e-visa on your device, which immigration authorities will scan.
No, you do not need to submit your physical passport when applying for a Dubai visa, as the visa process is conducted entirely online through the e-visa system. The Dubai e-visa allows you to complete your application and submit all required documents digitally, eliminating the need to visit an embassy or consulate in person.
Here’s how it works:
1. Digital submission: During the application process, you will be asked to upload a scanned copy of the relevant pages of your passport, particularly the bio-data page (which contains your personal details) and, if required, the back page. These scanned copies should be clear and legible, meeting the specified resolution and format requirements.
2. No physical submission Required: Since the process is entirely digital, you do not need to physically submit your passport or any other documents to the visa processing authorities. Everything can be managed through the online platform or via the authorized sponsor handling your visa application.
3. Passport validity: Ensure that your passport is valid for at least six months from the date of your intended entry into Dubai. Even though you’re not submitting your passport in person, its validity is crucial for the visa approval process. If your passport is close to expiring, renew it before applying for the visa.
4. E-Visa issuance: Once your visa is approved, it will be issued as an e-visa, which is electronically linked to your passport number. You will receive the e-visa via email, which you can print out or save on your mobile device. This electronic visa will be scanned and verified by immigration authorities upon your arrival in Dubai.
5. Security and authenticity: The e-visa system is designed to be secure and efficient. By linking the visa electronically to your passport number, the UAE authorities ensure that your visa is authentic and that your personal information is protected.
In conclusion, the Dubai e-visa process is streamlined to provide maximum convenience, allowing you to apply for and receive your visa without the need for physical passport submission. Just ensure that your passport meets the validity requirements and that the scanned copies you upload are clear and accurate.
Authorised by the government: Atlys is authorised by the United Arab Emirates government to handle your visa application.
Easy to use: Atlys is easy to use and allows you to apply for your visa in under 10 minutes, allowing for a seamless process.

Select a co-traveller: If you have a co-traveller or family member, you can include them in your application to complete it together.

Receive your visa: After approval, you will receive your visa digitally through Atlys.
No, an Estonia tourist visa does not permit you to work or study in Estonia or the Schengen Area. This visa is strictly for temporary tourism visits. If you wish to work or study, you will need to apply for the appropriate visa type (e.g., work visa, student visa).
If your travel dates have changed, you can still use the Estonia Schengen visa as long as the new travel dates fall within the visa’s validity period. However, if your new travel dates are outside the visa’s validity, you will need to apply for a new visa.
If you lose your passport with an Estonia visa while travelling, you should immediately report the loss to the local police and obtain a police report. You will then need to visit the nearest Indian embassy or consulate to apply for an emergency passport. You can also inquire about the possibility of reissuing the visa.
Tip: You should always keep photocopies of your passport, visa, and other important documents in a secure place to help in such cases.
You can easily track the status of your Estonia visa application using the Axis Estonia visa status tracking tool.
Generally, the Estonia Schengen visa fee is non-refundable, even if your visa application is rejected, but when applied from Atlys, under Atlys Protect (free), you are eligible for a refund.
If your Estonia tourist visa application is rejected, you can reapply after addressing the reasons for rejection. However, you must ensure that all documents are complete and accurate the second time to avoid added delays and expenses. If you have any doubts, consider seeking help from an authorised visa service provider to increase your chances of success.
Alternatively, you can also appeal the decision within 30 days of the rejection date. To do so, gather any missing documents or information and write a compelling appeal letter explaining why your visa should be granted.
