Estonia offers local e-residency optionMr Haav says Bangkok is an important centre for business and finance in Asean. E-residents can run a business from anywhere in the world, however e-residency does not provide citizenship or physical residency benefits, or the right to travel to Estonia or the EU. Over 80,000 people from more than 170 countries have applied for the e-residency programme, with 16,000 firms established in Estonia, he said. "It was clear to us when we started planning our expansion that we needed to establish an Estonian e-residency card pick-up point in Bangkok. According to Mr Kaljulaid, Estonia is ready to welcome more freelancers, entrepreneurs, business owners and location-independent workers from around the world to join its e-residency programme.
