Temporary Residence Permit (TRP) or D-Visa

Hi, I'm trying to figure out the visa process as well! Very confusing! I will apply for D-visa and TRP at the same time through the Estonian Embassy in Ankara! It seems TRP is a card that I could pick it up in Estonia. I have contacted the UT but their replies contradict with what I found on the embassy website. For instance, embassy asks for the official letter of admission, while UT claims the print would be enough! I'm not even sure what should be my bank account balance?!! 260 per month?! so I should have 260 *2*12 in my bank account?

Hi,
I am in the middle of this process as well. I am sure that we should apply for both visa D and TRP. visa for being allowed to enter Estonia and TRP for being able to use free public transport and other facilities provided for students. D visa can be obtained after 2 weeks but TRP needs at least 2 months.

It was my knowledge. I would be happy if I can answer your other question

I visited the Consulate in New York to submit my application for the TRP and they said that I did not have to apply for the D Visa as well because I was applying more than two months in advance so I should get the TRP before the end of August when I need to be in Tartu. It is a rather confusion process and I got the impression that they have been a bit more strict with the whole process recently. Hopefully everything will work out for those needing Visas/TRPs.

What is E residency Estonia ,do it supports TRC?

Hi,
I think E.residency is just for Europian union nations. but I am not sure. You can ask them by email and would be great if you can share your information here aswell.

Thanks Salma

No, it does not exactly mean to TRP, however it opens to every one in the world.  You may relate this e-resident program to the BVI company services on a transparent and digital platform.
