Chennai: BLS International, a global tech-enabled services partner for governments and citizens, has rolled out five centres to issue Estonian e-residency digital ID cards. These digital identity cards will be granted by the Estonian Police and Border Guard Board (PBGB) at five locations in Japan, Thailand, Singapore, Brazil and South Africa.
E-residents can open a company within a day and run it remotely, apply for a business banking account and credit card, conduct e-banking, use international payment service providers, declare taxes, and sign documents digitally. This shall provide the freedom to easily start and run a global EU company fully online from anywhere in the world. E-residents however are not subjected to get any citizenship rights.
