A sole proprietor ( FIE ) does not need a contact person, but must provide a valid Estonian address when applying for entry in the Commercial Register. The same rule applies to freelancers in creative or professional fields.
Before starting business activity, every FIE—whether resident or e-resident—must file an online registration via the Commercial Register; the Tax and Customs Board receives the data automatically, so no separate tax registration is required.
E-resident sole proprietors should note that they must pre-pay social tax four times per year, at a flat amount set annually in the state budget, regardless of actual income.
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.
