The startup visa gives foreign entrepreneurs the opportunity to settle in Estonia for up to 18 months to establish their startup. A visa for startup entrepreneurship may be issued for up to 12 months and extended for up to 6 months days. For prospective startup entrepreneurs who have established their startup in Estonia and wish to stay longer, it is possible to apply for a temporary residence permit for entrepreneurship. For startups, the general investment requirement (65 000 EUR) to apply for a residence permit for entrepreneurship does not apply. A temporary residence permit for entrepreneurship may be issued for up to five years.
