2. Understanding the Schengen Visa Process:
Before you can get started on your European vacation, you must first understand the basics of the Schengen visa application process. You can travel freely across any of the 27 Schengen States if you obtain a Schengen visa. It is crucial to note, however, that you must enter and exit the country from which you applied for and received the visa. In the case of Estonia, you must apply for a Schengen visa at the embassy of your primary destination.
3. Estonia: Your Gateway to Schengen:
Estonia, located among Northern Europe's stunning landscapes, entices visitors with its rich history and breathtaking scenery. Bangladeshi citizens who want to visit Estonia can do so with a short-term Schengen visa that allows them to remain for up to three months. While Estonia has a consular presence in Dhaka, the representation of Estonian Schengen visas is handled by the Embassy of Germany in Dhaka. The Germany Visa Application Centre in Dhaka, which is approved by the German Embassy, acts as an intermediary for visa applications.

Before beginning the application, it is important that you gather all of the required documents in accordance with the embassy's instructions. Remember that if any of your documents are not in English or German, they must be translated into one of these two languages.
6. Completing the Online Application Form:
You can now proceed to fill out the online visa application form after your documents are in order. Go to the German online visa application website and carefully fill out the form. Kindly fill out the application form carefully. Any wrong information can lead to visa rejection. After completing the online application, print a copy of the form for submission to the embassy.
7. Submission and Biometric Appointment:
It's time to submit your printed application form and supporting documentation to the embassy. Schedule an appointment for biometric submission and document handover to expedite the procedure. Remember to arrive at the embassy on time and on the specified date.
8. Paying the Visa Fees:
You will be required to pay the visa fees during your visit to the visa application center. Payment can be paid in cash or via credit/debit card transactions. Make sure you have enough money to complete this step smoothly.
9. Passport Collection and Final Steps:
Once the visa decision is finalized, you can pick up your passport in person from the application facility. Bring any required identification as well as any receipts or documents provided during the application process. With your passport in hand, you are now ready to begin your European adventure!
10. Long-Term Visa Applications for Bangladeshi Citizens:
The application process for Bangladeshi citizens seeking long-term visas to Estonia takes place at the Estonian Embassy in New Delhi, India.
