Field notes
Estonia's e-Residency is its own product, not a visa — pair it with a separate residency story. Tallinn itself is small, very digital, and quiet outside summer. Winter is harsh; many e-Residency holders use Tallinn for paperwork and live elsewhere.
Long cold winters with limited daylight (December sun rises 9am, sets 3pm). Summer is brief and beautiful — long evenings, mild temperatures, the Nordic light story. If you can do November–February remote, you'll love May–September here.
