Frequently asked questions
Does E-Residency give me the right to live in Estonia?
No. E-Residency is a digital identity only, it does not grant residency, citizenship, or the right to live in the EU.
Can I get EU VAT with an Estonian OÜ?
Yes. Estonian OÜs can register for EU VAT, which is required for B2B sales across the EU.
Is Estonia a low-tax jurisdiction?
Estonia has a unique system: retained profits are not taxed. You only pay 20% corporate tax when dividends are distributed.
How long does E-Residency take?
The application takes 3–8 weeks. We help you start the company formation in parallel once your card is on the way.
