e-residency
Virtual national identity
E-residency is a government-issued digital identity that allows non-residents to access a country's services remotely—banking, business registration, tax filing—without physically living there.
Estonia pioneered the concept in 2014, enabling entrepreneurs worldwide to establish EU-based companies online: She got Estonian e-residency to run her freelance business through Europe.
