Does the Estonian Embassy in Berlin process Working Holiday Visas for travellers from Canada who are currently travelling around Europe and visiting in Germany?
Hi Matt, only one way to find out. Give them a call and let us know how you go! Since you’re already in Europe it’s not a big ask and with some luck they will be very helpful. ๐
Hello, so i am currently an austrlian living in england, but i am interested in applying for an estonian working holiday visa, am i able to do this in the UK?
Hi Elias, yes you can apply from outside of Australia just contact your local Estonian Consulate/Embassy and they’ll get the ball rolling. As you currently hold a valid EU residence visa you may be asked just to show up in Estonia and apply in-country with their immigration department when you move. Give them a call first ๐
