In this post, you will learn which rules apply to the operation of drones in Estonia.
In Estonia, you are always allowed to fly with your drone. However, there are areas where special permits are required. This map shows several regions. For the blue area around Tallinn, you get a permit for 45 euros (application here), which is valid for twelve months. For the red-marked areas, you can apply for individual permissions per flight. The processing time for such applications is about three to seven working days.

Our goal is to provide you with the best information for traveling with a camera drone! But the constant updating of the articles is very time-consuming. With your support we will be able to invest even more time and energy in this project.
General rules for the operation of drones in Estonia
In controlled airspace (Tallinn, Tartu, and Aemari) flights are only possible with permission from the tower.
Permits can be issued for one year if you want to fly over 150 meters or in controlled airspace. The license is 45 euros and valid for up to one year. Despite the permission, the respective flights in this airspace must be coordinated with the air traffic control. Use this form. The processing time is 3 or 7 working days.

In Estonia you can fly in the red zone if you have a permit (it taks up to 3 to 7 days to get it). In the blue zone you have to have a permit that is released for a year (45 euros). Everywhere else you can fly if you do not go over 150m and you can see a drone.
