Estonia’s e-Residency is a groundbreaking program that allows anyone in the world to establish and manage a European company entirely online.
It is not a visa or tax residency, but a digital identity issued by the Estonian government that gives access to the country’s secure e-services.
🚀 Key Benefits
- Access to Estonia’s trusted digital infrastructure (digital signature, online banking, e-tax).
- Start and manage a company in the European Union without physically living in Estonia.
- Secure cross-border business management.
- Recognition worldwide: over 100,000 e-residents from 180+ countries.
🛠 How to Apply
- Submit your application at the official portal: e-Residency.
- Provide a passport copy, photo, and background details.
- Wait for approval (typically 4–8 weeks).
- Collect your e-Residency kit at the embassy or consulate you selected.
