It might be a good choice for a digital nomad with a short-term horizon, but if you want to stay somewhere else for more than 183 days per year, you will be considered a tax resident in that country, making your Dubai Golden Visa worthless.

Estonian e-residency doesn't solve that problem either, but conditions are worse.
My entire point was, that the Estonian E-Residency is only worth it, if you are willing to relocate to Estonia. If you want to spend more than 183 days per year in some other country, then the Estonian E-Residency is not the right choice.
cost of diet coke, steak, and internet please, if someone's HNing from Estonia here.

This website is hilarious! Thanks for sharing! I thought the place where I live is expensive, used the website to compare with Tallinn and found place where I live is actually cheaper in most areas :)
Can confirm that those numbers seem to be mostly up to date.
I did not expect for the cost of a home to be almost 500% more than where I am currently.
Estonia can be considered a Nordic country. Many people from Finland have moved to Tallinn for lower taxes and lower prices, because it's just two hours by ferry away from Helsinki.
If you are not a Software Developer then its pretty much impossible to buy a home. Prices are cheaper out side of the city but then you will be dealing with long commute times or would have to work from home.

Many countries in Europe, including Estonia, are in the small peak of real estate bubble. Inflation is very high and people have been hurrying to invest money they have. Real estate is obvious choice for many.
This site has correct prices for Rio de Janeiro, Brazil
With the exception of education for children is still looks slightly cheaper than living in the rural Southeast in the US.
CocaCola Zero ~1.5 euro/1.5L, good 400G steak ~30 euro, 100M internet 23 euro, 500M 32 euro
