No, you cannot apply for permanent residence or citizenship in Estonia through the Digital Nomad Visa. The Estonia Digital Nomad Visa is valid for up to 12 months and is issued for short-term purposes. The time spent in Estonia on a digital nomad visa will not be counted towards any residency applications, and is only possible if you switch to a different visa type. While the Estonian digital nomad visa cannot directly qualify you to apply for permanent residency, it, however, gives you the chance to explore the other long-term visa options, allowing you to switch to a long-term pathway in Estonia.
