- catuskoti 10y agoI have just looked into Estonian e-residency. The idea was that the Estonian government would establish a legal framework, which they did, and that Estonian service providers would take it from there, which they didn't. ["in reality they usually refuse to open bank accounts because in their minds e-residents have no links with Estonia."]( http://www.estoniancompanyregistration.com http://www.estoniancompanyregistration.com) Especially financial service providers are not following. Hence, you would be no more "e-resident" of Estonia than of other countries, just by entering that programme. In fact, other countries, such as even the UK, have better and more convenient programmes for this, which enjoy better support in general.
- guessmyname 10y agoThanks, I just checked the process and benefits, it seems like a good solution. However, when I was filling the form [1] I realized that the list of countries where you can pick-up the document is limited to 35 unique states, none of them is in South America which is where I live, so if I choose any of them I would need to get a visa to travel to that country just to get this document, which is kind of ironic.
