A genuine identification card or legitimate passport is required for a stay in Estonia of up to 90 days for citizens of the EU, EEA, or Swiss Republic. However, because Afghanistan is not an EU member, its citizens must seek visas to travel or settle there.
Afghan citizens have the legal right to dwell and, in most situations, function in Estonia if they have a residency permit from the embassy. The duration of the transitory permit is five years maximum. Each time, a case-by-case analysis is used to determine the precise duration.
Temporary employment
Before working, an immigrant must file with the Judiciary and Customs Officer Agency for a job license in the country. This procedure is less complicated than requesting a residency license. Within 30 days, a short-term work permit is either authorized or rejected. You need to look for work in Estonia first before applying for a license. Send your resume after finding the perfect employment to secure the position. Your employer can assist you in organizing the necessary paperwork and securing the permit.
Work permit
The person should file for a residency card in Estonia after they have secured a long-term job contract. An individual is allowed to work based on residency permission; there is no separate work license required. Long-term or temporary cards are both possible.
The grounds and requirements for requesting a residency visa rely on the unique circumstances of the individual and the industry. Most of the time, you must meet the income requirement and obtain clearance from the Income Support Agency. Additionally, the residency visa is governed by the foreign recruitment quota.
If there is no local available for the open job post, then the company is allowed to recruit any foreigner. You meet the requirements for the position including schooling, fitness, and prior work experience for clearance from the income fund agency. The pay must typically be at least the most recent average income as reported by Statistics.
Study permit for Afghanis
A temporary residence visa is required for all Afghan students who wish to enroll in full-time degree programs. After a candidate has been admitted to research on a particular course and the institution has delivered the necessary admission papers to the applicant, the registration process for a license and a residency card typically starts. You can later apply for a long-term permit after beginning your studies.
Visa requirements for Afghan nationals
You must provide the following paperwork to the Embassy to be granted permission to enter the nation:
Travel documents
For approval, the consulate must receive your valid passport. Additionally, recent passport-size pictures must be sent. Verify the passport’s authenticity and the number of unstamped pages remaining.
Request form
It is necessary to fill out a petition for a short-stay permit. The form needs to be filled out, presented, and acknowledged at the end. The application only contains valid and truthful data.
A cover letter
A letter from yourself outlining your reasons for wanting to visit Estonia, your plans for the trip’s duration, your departure date, and other pertinent information must be provided.
Health insurance
For Estonia and the entire Eurozone, you also need a baseline of €30,000 in insurance for medical situations and death-related repatriation.
Evidence of housing
You must provide proof to the diplomat or consulate where you will reside during your entire stay in Estonia.
Financial means
In Estonia, you must also show proof that you have the money you need to last the duration of your visit. Every immigrant requesting a visa must provide proof of having 86€ every day of their residence in Estonia, according to the Consulate general.
