E-RESIDENCY

2024-12-12

E-residency is an innovative electronic qualified signature programme that allows remote access to public administration, signing contracts, dealing with official matters and even setting up a company or bank account. The e-residency programme is also available to foreigners, making it unique in the world. Estonia, a pioneer in e-government and the digitalisation of society, was the first to introduce an e-residency programme, and the success of the Estonian e-residency programme introduced in 2014 took everyone by surprise. No one had ever imagined that running a business or contacting the public administration could be so easy. Another country that is working on introducing an e-residency programme this year is Lithuania.

The Thompson&Stein law firm provides comprehensive, substantive support at every stage of becoming an e-resident and is an official partner of the Estonian e-residency programme.

Why is it worth to have e-residency?

Thanks to e-residency, you gain access to foreign offices from anywhere in the world. You can communicate with the e-government of the country of which you are an e-resident by e-mail. You can submit and sign applications electronically. You can even complete all the formalities required to open a business in a given country remotely.

Having e-residency also enables you to sign agreements electronically with contractors who are also e-residents, and this makes doing business abroad much easier. E-residency holders are able to reduce their contact with the authorities to a minimum and thus gain more time for developing and running their businesses. E-residency also enables online tax settlements and electronic signing of financial documents.
