No more business visas From May 1, 2003 it is no longer possible to apply for business visas. Instead there is the possibility for people holding certain occupations (such as coach, teacher, member of the board, scientist, consultant, au pair, etc) to work in Estonia without a work permit for a short period of time (up to 6 months per year), in which case you have legal basis to stay in Estonia (valid visa or visa free days).
