E-Residency: Who Qualifies and What You Get

Learn how to obtain a digital identity to manage and run an EU-based company entirely online through the E-Residency program.

E-Residency is a digital program that provides you with a secure digital identity to manage and run an EU-based company entirely online.

Who it's for

This program is designed for global entrepreneurs and freelancers who want to operate a business within the European Union from anywhere in the world.

What you get

You receive a digital identity that allows you to manage your company's operations, sign documents, and handle official tasks through digital platforms without needing to visit a physical office.

What it costs you

There is a state fee of €120 to process your application. You will also need to undergo a background check as part of the verification process.

The catch to know

It is important to understand that this is a digital status only. It does not grant you physical residency in the country, nor does it provide any special travel rights or visa privileges.

How to apply

  1. Visit the official portal to start your application.
  2. Complete the necessary documentation and undergo the background check.
  3. Pay the required state fee.
  4. Pick up your digital ID kit at a designated location.
