EAS Startup Visa and Welcome Programme

EAS Startup Visa and Welcome Programme sits inside EIS's Startup Estonia platform, Estonia's public startup-relocation and support route for foreign founders. It is backed through the European Regional Development Fund and is framed around deep tech and other scalable startups with global growth potential. The structured record places it in Estonia with rolling intake. The route supports founders at idea, MVP, seed, growth, and scaling stages, and the public material describes both grant support and practical startup services. The recorded funding range is roughly EUR 5,000 to EUR 30,000, with help such as database access, model documents, statistics, networking events, and links into e-Residency and tax or visa support. It is meant for startups that can show genuine innovation and a path to international scale. The best fit is a foreign founder who wants to establish an Estonian company and use Estonia as an operating base. Deep tech is flagged as a priority area, and the overall offer is more about landing, legitimacy, and early scaling than about large project finance. Applicants that can show scalable economics and a reason to build from Estonia should read well here.
