Estonia's e-Residency is a government-issued digital identity that allows non-Estonians to start and manage an EU-based business online. Over 100,000 people have become e-Residents. It costs €100-120 to apply and provides access to Estonia's digital business infrastructure. Note: e-Residency is not a visa or citizenship — it is a digital business tool.
