Apply for e-⁠Residency until 15 March to take advantage of these locations for select dates in May

Attention entrepreneurs in or near Barcelona, Munich, and Istanbul!

Have you been thinking about applying for e-⁠Residency but so far had no time or resources to pick up your digital identity card in distant capitals?

Well now is your chance…

Apply for e-⁠Residency between 20 January and 15 March 2020 and you can opt to pick up your e-⁠Residency digital identity card and documents at one of the following three temporary pick-up points only within the dates indicated:

• Barcelona: Tuesday 5 May — Thursday 7 May 2020
• Munich: Tuesday 12 May — Thursday 14 May 2020
• Istanbul: Tuesday 19 May — Thursday 21 May 2020

The exact address and possible times of pick-up will be communicated to applicants opting for one of these cities when they are informed their digital identity cards are ready.

Of course, the regular pick-up points at Estonian embassies will continue to issue e-⁠Residency digital identity cards as usual.

This activity is part of the Estonian government’s strategy to improve access to e-Residency to entrepreneurs across the globe. Consider it a test run for more similar activities in other locations in the future. This project has been undertaken in cooperation with our Marketplace partner Xolo.

First time hearing about e-⁠Residency? Welcome to the community!

E-⁠Residency is a digital identity and status offered by the Republic of Estonia to people living outside its borders. It provides virtual access to Estonia’s e-governance platform and services and its open and transparent business environment. E-⁠residents can start an EU-based company online, digitally sign and encrypt documents, and run their business low cost and paperless from anywhere in the world. E-⁠Residency does not provide any rights of travel, physical residency or citizenship to Estonia or the EU.
