There are a few possible reasons why your event was not published.

Global Estonian focuses on events that are relevant to Estonians living abroad. We generally don’t publish events that take place in Estonia, unless they are of special significance — for example, the Song and Dance Celebration (Laulu- ja tantsupidu).

Your event may also not have been published if:

There are two ways to submit your content:

1. Directly via the Global Estonian portal: „Add Post“
2. Contacting info@globalestonian.com for support

Submitting a story or event directly through the portal is the fastest and most reliable way to publish your post and helps simultaneously develop our shared ecosystem. If you have questions, need guidance, or want to discuss your ideas with us, feel free to contact us — we are happy to help!

Abroad, you can apply for or renew an Estonian passport or ID card in three ways:

➡️ Through the Police and Border Guard Board’s self-service portal — Note: To use this service, your fingerprints must be valid, meaning they are no older than 6 years at the time of submission.

Estonia is a member of the European Union and part of the Schengen visa area. Visa requirements depend on your nationality, the purpose of your visit, and its duration.
