Applying for a visa to the Schengen area

Australian Resident Schengen Visa applications should be submitted at the VFS Global Visa Application Centres in Sydney, Melbourne, Perth, Adelaide, Brisbane or Canberra. 

If you are a Resident of New Zealand your visa application should be submitted at the VFS Global Visa Application Centre in Auckland, for residents of Fiji through VFS Global Visa Application Centre in Suva and for residents of Papua New Guinea through VFS Global Visa Application Centre in Port Moresby. Please note that as the visa applications will be processed in Canberra, processing them takes usually at least 2-3 weeks.  Citizens of Samoa, Vanuatu and Tonga need to travel to Australia, New Zealand, Fiji or Papua New Guinea to apply for Estonian Visa.  

People from other countries who are visiting Australia on a Tourist Visa, are not able to apply for a visa through the Embassy of Estonia in Canberra. Visa applications should be submitted at an Estonian Embassy that covers your country, or thorough a Schengen Member State, where Estonia is represented by another country

Information about Schengen Visas and required documentation needed, can be found on the Estonian Ministry of Foreign Affairs website.

If you apply Schengen visa from Australia you also need to provide following documentation

  • Proof of residence;
