Staying in Estonia

The Estonian state supports Ukrainian war refugees so that they could adapt here quickly and cope on their own until they can return home. Citizens of Ukraine who are already in Estonia and whose visa or other basis for stay has expired or will expire soon may continue to stay in Estonia temporarily. There is no need to apply for or renew the visa.
