Student Visa from Nigeria to Estonia
- This is the type of visa issued to those travelling to Estonia for the purpose of study.
- All students who are not Estonian citizens or EU citizens (including EEA countries and Switzerland) need a temporary residence permit for study.
- EU citizens should obtain a temporary right of residence in Estonia.
- Estonia actually does not issue a "study visa" — all non-EU students should apply for temporary residence permit for studying (TRP).
- When certain conditions are met, then it is possible to apply for C- (short term) or D-visa (long term) to travel to Estonia and apply for residence permit after arrival.
- The visa and residence permit application process will usually begin after the university has forwarded required acceptance documents to the accepted student.
- Students who are third country nationals (not EU citizens) have to apply for a temporary residence permit for study at the nearest Estonian Embassy or Consul in their home country or country of residence.
- If there is no Estonian Embassy or Consul in your home country or country of residence, you should contact the Estonian Embassy in a neighboring country.
- Extending an Estonian Schengen visa is only possible in exceptional cases where new facts and special reasons arise after entry in Estonia.
