Bangladesh passport holders: Single entry for Estonia. Fee: EUR 90 (~USD 103.96). Processing: 7-15 working days (per Estonia's own MFA guidance). Indicative only — always verify with the official mission before applying.

Overview

CORRECTED: Germany — not Finland — represents Estonia for Schengen visa processing in Bangladesh, confirmed independently by both the German Embassy Dhaka's own website ('Germany and Estonia' are the two countries it processes for Schengen visas) and Estonia's own MFA New Delhi page (which directs Bangladeshi applicants to 'the German Embassy in Dhaka'). This also resolves a logical inconsistency in the prior DB record: Finland itself has no consular presence in Bangladesh and is represented BY Sweden there, so Finland could not have been representing Estonia in Dhaka either. Standard Schengen (C) visa fee unchanged at EUR 90 (~USD 104 / ~BDT 12,864).

Visa types: Schengen C visa: Tourist, Business, Family/Friends Visit, Transit, Cultural/Sports, Medical (via Germany's representation). National D visa: Student, Worker, Family Reunification, Long-term Residence, Researcher, Startup Visa, Digital Nomad Visa (via Estonian Embassy New Delhi directly — long-stay D visas cannot be obtained through the German Embassy Dhaka).
