My analysis, and before you get excited [ US citizens cannot take advantage of this. ] Registering puts you in a pipeline for service sales, i.e., you will need a service provider (pick from 3) who can introduce you to banks who are not guaranteed to work with you. Doing this requires a local address, which they provide as a 'virtual office service' complete with telephone answering and mail. Notably, three links deep into the 'how to' process, everything you need gets complicated, but is naturally available as a service, and the focus of discussion shifts to taxes. Taxes and avoidance of unfair taxation errors are conspicuously discussed in detail, as the service providers focus on their most common need, protection of assets. They emphasize the fact that their smart cards are used for encryption as well as authentication while doing business, implying you can speak behind a 2048 bit privacy curtain about your "asset protection" needs and hear about more services. Your "government issued ID" does not bear a photo, explicitly is not an ID for travel or individual identity. The card, once collected securely in Estonia or within an Estonian embassy, can be used to secure all further discussion of these sensitive matters. Secure delivery means freedom from fear that 'prying eyes' like your oppressive local government will be able to read anything about your search for "asset protection services" and cause you trouble. Of course another prominently advertised service which seems obligatory is legal advice for international tax structures. Sad that the idea seems so pure on the landing pages, yet quickly evaporates leaving yet another offshore tax shelter scheme. I know what my taxes pay for, I've always paid them without one complaint except I'd like the money spent more efficiently. Thank you, but no, Estonia.
