Tere!
I have recently moved to Tartu and I am in the market to buy a used car but I don't know what is required.
I will be studying, but I don't have a residence visa yet, as that will come after August. My partner is Estonian, but she doesn't have a drivers license. I have an Australian license, and an international license and have no problem hiring and driving cars here so far.
Its my understanding that I can buy a car legally, but that perhaps I will not be able to buy the insurance since I am not a part of the EU. Is this true?
Can I legally buy and drive a car before I have a residence visa?
What options do I have?
Finally, in Australia there are services for mobile mechanics who will inspect a vehicle to highlight and problems. Is there this sort of thing here, or do you know of anybody who might be able to provide this sort of service Tartus?
Thanks for any help you can provide.
Aitah,
Bobby
