Citizens of Russia who have a Schengen visa issued by the republic will not be allowed to enter Estonia, said Minister of Foreign Affairs of the republic Ermas Reinsalu.
“In a week, sanctions will be imposed on Schengen visas issued by Estonia. Restrictions will be applied to visa holders [from Russia], they will be denied entry to Estonia,” the ERR portal quotes the Minister of Foreign Affairs.
He added that there would be a few exceptions to this rule. In particular, the sanctions will not affect employees of diplomatic missions in Estonia and their family members, as well as persons engaged in international transport or who have the right to free movement by EU law.
In addition, restrictions will not apply to persons whose entry into Estonia is necessary for humanitarian reasons, close relatives of citizens of the Republic, or holders of a permanent residence permit in Estonia.
