What if you could run a European company from anywhere, invoice clients globally, and skip the bureaucracy—without even stepping into an office? For many Ukrainian freelancers, consultants, and solopreneurs, this isn’t just a dream. It’s a reality made possible through Estonia’s e-residency program. And now, Xolo and e-Residency are making that journey even easier—by covering new customers’ e-Residency state fee.

What is Estonia’s e-Residency?

Estonia’s e-Residency is a digital identity program that allows non-EU citizens to start and manage a location-independent company within the European Union. It gives you access to a trusted business environment, online company registration, and secure digital services—without needing to live in Estonia.

And yes, it’s completely legal and recognized across the EU.

Why this matters for Ukrainian solopreneurs

Whether you’ve left Ukraine or you’re still working from home, the challenges of doing business internationally are real:

  • Lack of access to reliable payment providers

  • Difficulty setting up a legal entity in the EU

  • Complex tax and reporting rules

  • Limited trust from international clients

That’s where Estonia’s e-Residency—and Xolo—come in. With an Estonian company, you can work with clients throughout the EU, receive payments in multiple currencies such as euros, dollars, pounds, or any other currency you use, and enjoy simplified taxes and streamlined business operations.

And for Ukrainians, Xolo is offering something extra: we’ll reimburse your e-Residency state fee (worth €150+).
