My experience as an e-resident

The whole process was very straightforward and I received my digital ID card within a few weeks.  As an e-resident, I have access to a number of benefits and services. I can open a business bank account in Estonia, file my taxes online, and get e-signatures for legal documents. I also have access to free public WiFi hot spots around the country.  E-residency has made it easy for me to do business in Estonia from anywhere in the world. I highly recommend it to anyone who is interested in doing business online.

Areas that still need improvement

There are still some areas where e-residency needs to be improved. For example, the application process can be complicated and time-consuming. It would be helpful if there was an easier way to apply for an e-residency.  E-residents also need to be better informed about their rights and responsibilities. Currently, there is a lot of information available, but it can be difficult to know where to find it and how to access it. It would be helpful if there was a central place where e-residents could go to get all the information they need.  Finally, e-residents need to be more involved in the community. There are many online forums and groups, but it can be difficult to participate in them if you don’t live in Estonia. It would be beneficial if there were more opportunities for e-residents to connect with each other and with Estonians.
