The full guide
Non-EU/EEA/Swiss nationals enrolled in a full-time accredited Estonian study programme need a Temporary Residence Permit (TRP) for studying, issued by the Police and Border Guard Board (PPA) — not an embassy-issued visa. Granted for the duration of the curriculum, up to 5 years. Note: the exact minimum monthly income figure genuinely couldn't be pinned down to one confirmed number during research — treat the figure below as an approximate reference and confirm the current amount directly with the PPA before relying on it.
Cost: Commonly cited at €80 for standard processing (2-month decision) or €160 for express processing (1-month decision).
