I collected my Estonian non-citizen id card from Madrid. I found their income reports misleading and highly subjective. Plus you have to pay someone to dump the data in Estonian. You are subject to fines on a phone line. Not much security from an owner POV. I finally closed the entity which was much more expensive than opening.
At the end, these kind of stuff is done so they can charge entrepeneurs heftly and throughly with invoices on services which could not be needed if you were in their jurisdiction.
Not worth it.
PD. I forgot to add the ID card is valid for 5 years or so so you might run out of identity while your company is running, risky business.
Overall it costs me around 60 euros a month in accounting/virtual office.
Also if you use the mobile app authenticator you can do everything needed even while your ID card has expired. I prefer to use the smartcard instead of another app, but you have that option.
