How to setup your remote company using e-Residency

Estonia is considered by many the most Digital Nation in the world, and for good reason! 99% of its government services are available entirely online, paving the way for Estonian e-Residency. How can this help your remote company?

In this episode, we are joined by Alex Wellman from the Estonian e-Residency Program. With him, we will explore the process and benefits of setting up your company completely remotely using e-Residency.

In the episode we will cover the following topics:

What is the Estonian e-Residency citizenship?
How can my company apply?
What benefits are there for Digital Nomads and remote entrepreneurs?

If you are a remote business owner or freelancer and think the business services in your country could be better, this episode could be a game-changer. Alex shows us it's not only possible to set up and managing your business, but you can do it with ease. He walks you through the most common benefits and questions of the program, along with a step-by-step walkthrough of the application process.
