Hi,
What kind of business can I setup with an e-residency? (E-business, consulting, import-export...?)
Thanks.

Bear in mind, that as in most of the countries, there are different requirements to start different kind of businesses. In most cases no special permit or license needed, nor the money deposit.

Several industries are regulated: financial services, medical treatments, export-import-wholesale-retailing of alcohol or petroleum, travel agencies, civil engineering and some others require extra permissions, or proof of proficiency, or proof of sufficient funds. Most probably you would not be interested in such businesses, but if you have doubts better tell what business you have in mind, and we can tell if it needs anything extra.

Hi Birbal,

There is an official government page in English that lists all business activities that require either licence, or a notice to the authorities: https://www.eesti.ee/en/licences-and-notices-of-economic-activity/

From your list only Engineering services might require a simple notice to the authorities (not a license). Even t a notice is not required, if your activity does not cover management and organisation of work of other persons, and the employee performing the work has relevant professional qualification (EU diploma of higher education in the relevant field).
