In plain language

Before flying in a restricted flight area or geographical zone in Estonia, you must obtain a permit. For temporary geographical zones, a permit is required if the creator of the zone has made flights conditional upon having one.

Requirement as structured

A permit is required to fly in a flight-restricted area or a UAS geographical zone established by Government order under § 4¹(1). In a temporary UAS geographical zone established under § 4¹(2), a permit is required only where the authority that established the zone allows flying subject to a permit (§ 4¹(1¹) point 2).
