Hi Shuai Zhang. Thank you for your question. As stated under #1, the Digital Nomad Visa (DNV) is not connected to e-Residency and being an e-resident is not a prerequisite to applying for the DNV. If you have set up an OÜ company, you may be eligible to apply under the third category of digital nomad as long as you can work remotely, have clients mostly outside of Estonia, and meet the income threshold.

But you will be subject to the same application rules and procedures as non e-residents. That is, there is no simplification of the application process.

However, if you are successful and come and stay in Estonia on the DNV, having an e-resident digital ID card will be useful in accessing some of Estonia's e-services.
