Estonia
Estonia travel guide for Australians
Australians should confirm Estonia's entry rules with Estonian immigration and the official EU ETIAS page before booking; this draft cannot confirm visa-free status, ETIAS timing or the 90/180-day limit. Estonia uses the euro, Type C/F plugs at 230 V, 112 for emergencies, and tipping is not expected.

Entry on an Australian passport
Estonia applies EU border rules. This page is a dated draft and cannot confirm visa-free status, the permitted length of stay, passport-validity rules or ETIAS applicability for Australian passport holders. Confirm your own case with the Estonian immigration service and the official EU travel-authorisation site before you book flights.
The EU's ETIAS scheme is planned as a pre-travel authorisation for visa-free visitors. Its start date, fee and validity period must be confirmed on the official EU page; treat any figure you see elsewhere as unconfirmed.
For longer stays, work, study or residence, confirm the requirement with the Estonian authorities rather than relying on a blog or this page.

Rules and dates change; the Estonian immigration service and the EU official pages decide, not this page.
Embassy and consular help
This page cannot confirm which Australian mission covers Estonia or its contact details. Before you travel, verify the covering post and its after-hours consular number on the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade (DFAT) website, and save the details offline.
- Check which Australian mission covers Estonia on the DFAT site (check).
- Save the DFAT consular emergency number before departure (check).
Costs in Australian dollars
Estonia uses the euro. This page does not confirm AUD figures; use the site's Estonia cost page for local prices and convert at the day's rate before you budget.

|---|---|---|
| Hostel bed, per night | check | check |
| Mid-range hotel, per night | check | check |

Flying from Australia
This page cannot confirm routes or journey times from Australia to Tallinn; check schedules with the airlines before booking.
Estonia runs on UTC+2, or UTC+3 in summer (late March to late October). Work out the gap against your home city with the flight-time planner before you book.
Power plugs
Estonia uses European Type C and F sockets at 230 V, 50 Hz. Australian plugs do not fit; bring a C/F adapter.
Tipping
Tipping is not expected in Estonia. Rounding up is normal, and about 10% is a fair signal for good table service in a restaurant.
Emergency numbers
Dial 112 for police, ambulance and fire anywhere in Estonia. Save it in your phone before you land, and keep your passport and insurance details somewhere you can reach without a signal.
