How to write a Estonian address

Estnoia is famous for being the first country to offer e-residency, a program that allows non-Estonians to access Estonia's e-services like banking and taxes from anywhere in the world. Estonia is also famous for its countyside being over 50% covered by forests. And lastly, Estonia is famous for its address format. Ok, not really with that last one, but we're here to tell you how to address a letter to Estonia. We've selected an Estonian address example for you to follow.
