They made everyone regenerate their private keys on the card recently during a short window, and those who missed it (like me) ended up with a fancy piece of paper with their name on it. Oh joy.
Just when I'd decided to use my e-Residency for something, it becomes worthless.
They're asking me to reapply for a new ID document and pay the fee all over again. I'd honestly do it, but then they can't hand it over to me in Pakistan and I'm not flying out of the country just to grab an e-Residency card when my previous one hasn't even expired yet.
I guess I'm still a bit sour over this.
- Avamander 8y agoI agree that they should reimburse because the flaw was not caused by you, but how did you manage to miss the massive publicity and uproar and not update your card?
- amingilani 8y agoI was working 60 hours a week at the time. It had come up on my radar but there wasn't enough time in my day or mental energy left at the end of it to look into it in much detail — I just thought it, like everything else in my life at the time, could wait a few more months. By the time I looked into it, I was a month or two late.
- SZJX 8y agolol if you're letting yourself so overwhelmed by work probably you'd take a second look at your work-life balance, especially if you're working in Europe, unless you're the founder/executive or something.
- amingilani 8y agoThat was then, I'm doing much better now, though. Thank you for your concern :)
- mb_72 8y agoThat 'short window' was some period of months, I thought. It's not cool the problem happened but sounds like you didn't consider it high enough priority to get onto it.
- amingilani 8y agoYeah, unfortunately, short is relative. As I mentioned elsewhere, I was under intense work pressure at the time and everything else in life seemed far lower a priority in comparison.
