Working Holiday Maker Visa

I have finally got my visa to Estonia, which will enable me to live and work here for the next 12 months. It took about two months, mainly because no one in Estonia, or any consulate or embassy had ever heard of the working holiday maker visa, despite the fact that the agreement was on the Foreign Ministries website. Eventually I was able to make contact with someone form the Helsinki Embassy, and after some research they agreed to give me the visa. Sirli and I traveled to Helsinki on the ferry. It took about five hours, but we were able to wander around Helsinki, which is a beautiful city. As far as I am aware, I am the first ever person the have a working holiday maker visa to Estonia!!
