📝 NOTES
Europe's first digital nomad visa (launched August 2020). Two types: C-visa (short stay, 90 days) and D-visa (long stay, up to 365 days). Cannot be extended or renewed; must explore other visa categories for continued stay. Income of EUR 4,500/mo must be proven with 6 months of documentation. No special tax regime; standard Estonian income tax (22% + 2% surcharge from 2026) applies if tax resident. E-Residency is separate and does not grant right to live in Estonia.
