ESTONIA Residency & Citizenship By Investment

ESTONIA START-UP VISA PROGRAM & PERMANENT RESIDENCY

The Estonian Startup Visa program is an excellent opportunity for non-EU entrepreneurs to establish and grow their innovative startups in one of Europe’s most digitally advanced countries. Launched in 2017, the program is designed to attract forward-thinking founders and business professionals who can contribute to Estonia’s vibrant tech ecosystem.

Innovative and Scalable Business Model:

The startup must be technology-driven, offering an innovative and repeatable business model with strong global growth potential.
