Hello everyone.

For reasons irrelevant to this post I Want to get a domain for my selfhosting server from esthonia as im a foreigner i stoubled uppon some issues /questions.
I’m reading that this is allowed, but I want tips for the proses or suggestions for regisars.

Also I want to clarify one pcs of information that I was shocked to see.

Estonia (as per my research) mandates that each and every domain under its tld is linked to its owner ID number, but I doubt it that my foreign ID will be accepted…
I found some registars that they are able to tie themselves as the management entity (thus I don’t need to provide a ID) but this not only seems sketchy, but it comes with a 25-30€ /month! fee over the domain…

Thanks for anyone who takes the time to reply

    Estonia is known for it’s e-Residency program. You can pay 100-150 € and get your own Estonian ID instead of paying monthly fee to the registrar (and depending upon it’s reliability). I don’t know all the details of this process and whether it suits your needs, but, IMHO, this opportunity is worth investigating further.

      Yes, I confirm, with e-Residency ID card it’s very easy to buy an .ee domain.

      Just make sure that you have a passport of the country from the right side of the world. Estonia doesn’t accept certain passports at all (i.e. RU / BY) regardless of the residency of the owner.
