Question 1

Will I get a physical address in Estonia with e-Residency?

John Doe · Accepted Answer

No – e-Residency is not a residence permit.

Being an e-resident of Estonia does not give you the right to live in Estonia or elsewhere in the EU, nor does it provide any form of residency, visa, or immigration status. E-residency is simply a digital identity that allows you to manage a business remotely, not a physical presence permit.

What qualifies as permanent residence in Estonia?

To be considered a permanent resident, you must live in Estonia for at least 186 days per calendar year for personal or professional reasons. This requires strong ties to Estonia, which must be proven with supporting documents. Common examples include:

A lease agreement of at least 6 months (must be supported by additional evidence)
An employment or service contract lasting at least 6 months
Proof of property ownership in Estonia
Utility bills or fuel invoices in your name
School or kindergarten records (if you have children in Estonia)
Annual report if you’re on the board of an Estonian company
Transport tickets showing extended stays
Letters of explanation from people you live with

If you provide an employment contract, study certificate, or proof of military service in Estonia, that alone may be sufficient.

E-Residency does not include a physical address. If you're looking to establish stronger ties to Estonia, founding a company, along with using our legal address and contact person services, is a practical and compliant way to do so. We’re here to assist.

Question 2

Why there is a need for the address?

John Doe · Accepted Answer

As a physical or juridical person, the utilization of an address is essential for various reasons.

All addresses we provide are located in real, physical premises, fully serviced business buildings in central Tallinn.

Having a reliable address—whether you are a private individual or a legal entity—is more than a formality in Estonia:

Who needs it	Why it matters	Typical uses
Natural persons (individuals)	• Receive letters, small parcels, bank cards, and official notices. • Fulfil the statutory requirement to state an address when founding a company (including for e-residents).	① Register a new Estonian company. ② Receive government or banking correspondence. ③ Keep personal and business mail separate.
Legal persons (companies, NGOs, partnerships)	• Mandatory “registered office” for the Commercial Register. • Boosts credibility with banks, investors, and customers. • Ensures a fixed location for service of legal documents.	① List on the Commercial Register and invoicing documents. ② Collect licences / permits that require a local address. ③ Receive official letters, court notices, and parcels.

Compliance & risk management

Estonian law (Commercial Code §63) obliges every company to maintain a local address for legal notices.
Certain regulated activities (e.g. fintech, crypto, FTS licences) require an in-country address before an application will be processed.
A dedicated address helps you avoid missed deadlines, fines, or dissolved-by-court actions triggered by undelivered mail.

Professional image
Publishing a recognised business address—rather than a home or foreign location—signals permanence and transparency, especially to EU-based partners and payment providers.

Bottom line
An address is not just somewhere to “park” mail or just a mailbox; it is a legal safeguard, a credibility booster, and a practical tool for staying organised—whether you are launching your first Estonian company or scaling an established enterprise.
