Well that's interesting. It's still not clear after reading the FAQ whether or not you'd become a citizen or not. It largely seems to be a way to register your company in the country (and pay taxes to them). Are you still afforded the same protections as citizens of EU countries? (if not, then this obviously wouldn't help GP in the quest to protect themselves from facebook)



From their page when you click apply:

> NB! Please be aware that e-Residency does not confer citizenship, tax residency, residence or right of entry to Estonia or to the European Union. It is not a visa or residence permit.

Too bad. It looks like this can't make you a citizen of the EU.
