From the linked website, it seems that they expanded applications to overseas embassies a few days ago, so visiting in person might no longer be necessary.

Out of curiosity, what was your motivation for applying? It seems to me that the only obvious use-case for e-residency is to run a company registered in Estonia while living elsewhere.

Yes it seems like it'll be easier now. Exciting really. I bet a lot of people will now take advantage of it.

My motivation is eventual real residency. This just makes it easier.

I'm not sure there is any path, now or planned for the future, for moving from e-residency to 'real residency'. Probably you've seen this information, but if not: http://www.investinestonia.com/en/investment-guide/coming-to...
