Frequently asked questions
No. With e‑Residency you can complete the entire process remotely and digitally. With the traditional approach, you can either visit a notary in person or grant us a power of attorney so we can handle it on your behalf.
Via e‑Residency, the company can be registered within one working day after all documents are submitted. The traditional notary route typically takes a few weeks, depending on how quickly the power of attorney is processed. Applying for e‑Residency itself takes up to 30 days.
e‑Residency is a digital identity issued by the Estonian government that allows non-residents to use Estonian e-services, including establishing and managing a company 100% online from anywhere in the world.
No. Estonia's e‑Residency programme and company formation process is open to citizens of any country. There are very few restrictions on foreign ownership or management.
Package prices do not include state fees (265 EUR for online registration or 200 EUR via notary), the e‑Residency application fee (150 EUR), or notary and translation costs where applicable. The quiz results will give you a full cost breakdown for your situation.

I have used their legal advice and assistance on several occasions. Most recently, attorney-at-law Tauri Tigasson positively surprised me with his proactive approach, precise, and determined counseling, even pushing me to act more efficiently. It exceeded my unspoken expectations. Working with them has been a true pleasure.
Very high level, broad-minded, and reliable partner in legal matters. The sense of security is the most important thing I expect from legal assistance as a client, and this is the experience that the law firm Lepmets & Nõges always provides. Legal assistance should be like this – thank you for always being there!
I recently worked with the law firm Lepmets & Nõges, and their professionalism exceeded all expectations. Their lawyers are highly knowledgeable and skilled, offering clear advice and support at every step. I was impressed by how dedicated they were to the client's needs, always keeping me informed and answering all my questions. Excellent service and genuine care for the client make them a top-tier law firm. I highly recommend them!
My family and I are sincerely grateful to the Lepmets and Nõges bureau, whom we found through recommendations from acquaintances. A long and exhausting process had reached a dead end, but thanks to their professional assistance, expertise, resourcefulness, and, more importantly, understanding of the situation and humane attitude, we can now continue with our normal lives.
There is a saying: “promise only what you can deliver. Then deliver more than you promise”. Lepmets & Nõges has always delivered more in our business relationship. Their knowledge, professionalism and talent is what I value most about them. I can honestly say I have always been 100% satisfied with their work.
