Estonia will not allow Russians with Schengen visas issued by Estonia to enter the country, but there will be a few exceptions.
Estonia does not issue tourist visas to Russians, but the current decision means that Russian citizens with valid Schengen visas will not be able to enter the country either.
"Visa holders from Russia will be subject to restrictions. They will be denied entry to Estonia," Estonian Foreign Minister Urmas Reinsalu said.
He added that this decision also includes exceptions. Entry will be allowed for employees of diplomatic missions in Estonia and their family members, persons engaged in international transportation, persons with free movement rights under EU law, persons whose entry into Estonia is necessary for humanitarian reasons, and close relatives of persons with Estonian citizenship or permanent residence permits in Estonia.
