Jun 27, 2020 | Business, Estonia

Estonia is a first country that offers a transnational digital identity to foreigners.  This is a simple way of having an access to Estonia’s governmental services without any need to visit Estonia.

E-Residence is neither an identification card or citizenship, nor a visa. It allows you to be virtually identified in Internet not only when logging into your bank account, but also to sign documents or use governmental tools for your company. This is a mighty implement that allows you to speed up the process for your company and the best thing is that you do not need to be in the office to use it. You can do it on a go or anywhere in the world needing not more than an internet access.

This tool allows entrepreneurs to open a company in Estonia with the benefits of European Union legal framework as well as to have an access to governmental implements, like company formation and tax declaration.
