Estonia
Recent reports of entry without significant problems.
This rating rests on little or old data, so treat it as a rough guide.
Based on 2 reports. Score 1.00 on a scale from −1 (always refused) to +1 (always admitted), with recent reports counting most. How scoring works
What to expect
Only two firsthand reports are on file, one from 2023 and one from 2026, and both describe admission with no issues at passport control.12 The 2023 traveler flew in five times during supervision, filing advance travel notification each time and passing through with a marked passport.2 The 2026 traveler was no longer required to register and did not state their arrival mode, so little is known about current land or cruise entry.1
