Become e-resident

In 2014 Estonia was the first country in the world to offer e-residence for foreigners. All e-residents get electronic identity tokens which they can use to autheticate online and sign legally binding documents. Estonian e-residents enjoy doing business within European Union in a simplified manner avoiding the usual paperwork.
