Conditions
- Passport validity
External-border passport must be valid at least 3 calendar months after planned departure and issued within the last 10 years.
- Proof of funds
Entry may be refused for insufficient stay/departure funds unless a host covers those costs; no universal amount is supplied here.
- Health requirement
Entry may be refused for lacking the required health insurance policy; no visa-free coverage amount is stated in this border body.
External-border crossing is permitted only at an official point open to international traffic and within its operating hours.
An applicable valid travel document must be carried at internal Schengen borders; authorities may check it.
Personal/travel data are provided at the border; officials may ask purpose/funds questions and request supporting documents.
Entry may be refused for border/customs violations or threats to public order, security, health or international relations.
The standard 90/180 short-stay allowance is a single aggregate period across the 29 EES countries, including Estonia.
Eligible non-EU short-stay travellers have entries, exits or entry refusals electronically registered in EES, subject to qualified exemptions.
For minors, officials may verify parental consent/caregiver status; the Police page says extra entry authorisations are not generally required.
Police exit wording says notarised other-parent consent is required, but its awkward phrase and precise accompanied-minor scope need clarification.
