Estonia will read your income. It does not publish the number.
The telework D visa runs up to a year. The police page asks for six months of legal income and gives itself 30 days to answer.

What changed
The Police and Border Guard Board says a long-term D visa can last up to 12 months, with up to 365 days of stay inside any 12 consecutive months. For teleworking you show that the work does not depend on location, and that you keep working for an employer, a company, or clients based abroad. Income evidence is the six months before the application: size, regularity, and source. No euro floor is printed on that page. They review an accepted application within 30 days. If you are already in Estonia, you file at least 30 days before the current stay ends.
What this does not change
This is a visa decided in Estonia, not a residence permit, and not the same product as Spain's telework visa. The general D-visa list asks for three months of bank statements. The telework list separately asks for six months of income. Bring the longer story. A 30-day clock starts when they accept the file, not when you feel ready. Foreign public documents still need an apostille or legalisation, and a sworn translation into Estonian or English. A standalone "digital nomad visa" address on the same site no longer resolves.
One next step
Write one page on who pays you and where that company sits, then collect six months of proof that matches it. Book the service office after the papers exist.

This is not legal advice. A ministry page and the consulate that stamps your passport can read the same rule differently. Use the sources, then ask someone who is allowed to advise you.
