Who counts as a family member for Estonia's family residence permit?

Estonia's temporary residence permit for a family member is available to close relatives of an Estonian citizen or a foreign national lawfully residing in Estonia. The main categories are spouses, minor children (under 18, unmarried and not living independently), adult children in certain dependent situations, and parents or grandparents who depend on the sponsor. Each relationship must be documented, and the sponsor must hold a valid status that supports family reunification.
