Appointment wait
Short — booked directly with embassy (online at broneering.mfa.ee, phone or email). Submission windows limited (Tue 13:00-16:00, Fri 10:00-12:00) but demand low; typically days to ~2 weeks.
Application centre
Embassy of Estonia Dublin — direct (no VAC operator). Submit in person at Estonian Embassy, Iveagh Court, Harcourt Road, Dublin.
Timeline notes
Estonia has a full embassy in Dublin and processes its own Schengen visas directly — no VFS/TLS. Low-volume mission, so appointment access is far easier than the big destinations. Fee EUR 90.
