Does e-Residency grant me residence or citizenship rights in Estonia?
No. e-Residency is only a digital identity that provides remote access to Estonia's digital services and company management; it does not grant residence permit, visa or citizenship rights. Residence rights require a separate application, such as the Startup Visa.
Do I actually need to pay in the minimum share capital?
For the OÜ company type in Estonia, minimum share capital can be committed rather than paid immediately at formation in every case. We detail the current requirements for your specific business model during the initial consultation.
Is accounting service mandatory?
Every company operating in Estonia must keep regular accounting records and submit an annual report. Our local accounting partners manage this process for you.
Can I manage my company while living outside Estonia?
Yes, that's the core advantage of e-Residency. You can sign contracts with a digital signature, handle your banking and manage your company from anywhere in the world.
