TALLINN, Estonia, Oct. 21 (UPI) -- Estonia will offer "e-residency," an electronic presence in the country for financial and business transactions without actually being there.
Scheduled to be in place by the end of the year, the program will provide an electronic identification card to anyone, anywhere, willing to pay a fee of 50 euros ($64) to sign documents, open a business and have a financial presence in Estonia -- a country eager to develop a reputation as a leader in technology.
