Does the Startup Committee's acceptance guarantee I get the Estonian Startup Visa?

A common misunderstanding is that the Startup Committee's positive decision is the visa itself. It is not. The Committee's role is to confirm that your company meets the legal definition of a startup, which is a prerequisite, not the final immigration approval.

After you receive the acceptance letter, you still submit a separate visa or residence permit application, pay the relevant state fee, and meet the standard requirements such as funds and health insurance. Treat the Committee step as the gateway, and budget time for the immigration application that follows.
