What is the minimum income requirement for the Estonia DNV?

The minimum income requirement for the Estonia Digital Nomad Visa (DNV) is €4,500 per month for the six months immediately before your application. This is a strict financial benchmark Estonia sets to ensure applicants can support themselves without becoming a burden on their social system. This €4,500 monthly figure is a baseline. You'll need to show bank statements or other financial proof covering that six-month period, totaling at least €27,000 (€4,500 x 6). While Estonia's cost of living can be lower than in Western Europe, especially outside Tallinn, this income ensures you have a solid financial cushion. For example, a single person's estimated monthly costs in Tallinn, excluding rent, are around €800, with a one-bedroom apartment in the city center costing €500-€800. Estonia is serious about this requirement. They want to attract skilled professionals who contribute to their economy, not just tourists. So, make sure your finances are well-documented and clearly meet the threshold. It's better to show a little more than the bare minimum if you can.
