lower bus fares plus lower electric and water tariffs (the latter assumes your landlord is renting allows you on his account....) thats about it.

And by applying you will be fulfilling your legal obligations, and thus experience a nice warm glow inside

It also simplifies the process of getting a contract with Melita. When I registered, they asked for deposits for the mobile phone, and for the internet connection (300 EUR in total). I can get that back now with an eResidency card.

(NB: I've heard not everyone was asked this.)

Would it help me (or is it a prerequisite) to get my children in a state school? I.e. can my children enrol in a state school if I'm employed but so far with no e-residency card?

you need to have applied for it, and got a receipt, which means you have to apply in person

There are not so much 'advantages' but acquiring one is necessary to integrate into the 'system'. When you get it don't forget to inform any hospital/health registration you may have, the Entitlement Agency, your bank etc.

Well, I also thought it would be like that, but in my case in practice, it wasn't exactly as they said. I was told that as soon as we had our e-Residence cards, we should inform the school so they could update their system. But then, few weeks ago went to speak with my son's school principal, and she said they did not need them. Once again, all very confusing! In the beginning, a lot of fuss to register my son without a proof that we had applied for the EIDs, and once we have them, they don't need it anymore, crazy!!!

I am also trying to open an account at HSBC now that they can get references from BOV, and they also asked me for my e-Residency card. Still waiting for an update though, since the last 3 or 4 days.

they are all to do with accessing the government portals for information and tax and stuff like that
