Estonia Tour Packages

Estonia is in the Schengen area and Indian passport holders need a Schengen visa. One thing is worth clearing up first, because it is widely got wrong: Estonia issues its own visas in India rather than being represented by another country.

Fee and processing, as the Ministry publishes them The Estonian Ministry of Foreign Affairs publishes the Schengen visa fee as €90 for adults, €45 for children aged six to eleven and free for children under six, with the visa application centre's service fee charged separately. Applications cannot be lodged earlier than six months before the journey and must be submitted at least fifteen days before it — that later date is an administrative cut-off, not a recommended time to apply. On the decision itself, the Ministry states that a decision is taken within fifteen days from the date the application has been considered admissible, and that this may be extended to forty-five days where further examination or additional documents are required. The admissibility wording is the important part: the clock starts when the file is accepted as complete, not when you hand it over, so a document query delays the start rather than running alongside it. That figure is a standard decision period and it is not a guaranteed end-to-end visa timeline — appointment availability, the in-person biometric visit, any further scrutiny or consultation and the return of your passport all sit outside it. Apply well in advance rather than to the minimum. Fees and timeframes are set by the authorities and change; confirm both when you apply. Final visa decisions remain with the relevant authorities.
