I am trying to understand all of this. What will the effect be on traditional citizenships? Does e-residency offer any interesting investment opportunities? Who are the people who want an e-residency?
While e-residency doesn't really give me myself an advantage (https://apply.gov.ee/ - it costs EUR 100,--), I suggest you really take a look at this to understand what e-services a country can offer its citizens. In Australia there is already a lot of digitisation, but it seems to me that some of the digitisation has made life harder and more difficult. However, it seems in Estonia the digitisation has made life very much easier.
Please be so kind and leave your comments below. Is e-residency something that would interest you? How do the e-services in your country compare to the services in Estonia? E-voting is very important, in Australia the government just spent AUD 100 000 000,-- to reestablish an issued that required voting. True democracy can finally take place by putting the democratic decisions directly at the hand of the citizens.
Fascinating stuff. Someone has to be first and I didn't realise that Estonia was leading the way with this stuff. I might have to have a deeper look into getting some e-Residency there!

Thanks for the info. I've added it to my TODO list (which is already quite long) so it might take me a while.

Hi, this is very interesing. In Germany we have possibilities to do some things online, if no signature is needed. Also registering a new born is easy. When the newborn is "arrived", you fill out a form and give it to the "reception". After max 2 days you´ll have the birth documet in your hand.
You can make appointments online for a new passport for example, but you have to join the appointment, because a signature is needed. With the new ID card you can do some online identification, if you choosed the possibility to. It´s your choise. It´s a big step, but far away from the estonian system.

Pat, I think Germany is still one of the top countries in the world, with many freedoms, and in many cases friendly people who are helpful. I remember in 1986 I was travelling South West Africa, I found a small useless bar in a place calles Usakos. There were 10 cats running around. It was very hot. In the middle of nowhere. I ordered 2 beers and paid them with my Mastercard. A few weeks later I was in Germany, I could not pay for my food at a top restaurant in the middle of a big city. Germany has very good hard working and innovative people, but the government is too slow and conservative in supporting innovation, and too fast in supporting some other things...
