About the country

Estonia was one of the first countries to write the digital nomad visa into law of its own: since August 2020 remote employees and freelancers earning from €4,500/month have lived here legally for up to a year. An EU and Schengen member: e-Residency, 100% of government services online and 0% corporate tax until profit is distributed.

Worth knowing

  • !The DNV is a visa, not a residence permit: it offers no route to permanent residence or citizenship and cannot be renewed
  • !A high income threshold for the DNV - from €4,500/month, above most EU equivalents
  • !Staying 183+ days makes you a tax resident, at 22% on worldwide income

Common questions

How can I move to Estonia?
The catalogue covers these routes: residence permit. The reference section describes 10 relocation programmes in total, with official conditions and links to government sources. Which route fits depends on whether you have a job, a business, property or relatives in the country - we'll go through it on a free consultation and pick the one that works.
What services can I arrange in Estonia?
1 option across 5 areas: residence permit, crypto exchange, flights, short-term stays, VPN abroad, health insurance, buying, selling and 2 more. Every option comes with a price, a timeline and the scope of work; the provider is a licensed local expert.
Can services in Estonia be arranged remotely, without flying in?
No: this service requires you to be there in person - usually for biometrics, a signature at the bank or filing at a consulate. What exactly has to be done in person is covered on a free consultation before any work starts.
What does a consultation cost, and is there a markup on top?
The consultation is free and commits you to nothing. You sign the contract directly with the expert and pay their official price list - Pactors adds no markup and takes no commission from you.
