Abstract

This chapter analyses the change that info technology has and will make to the concept of citizenship. E-citizenship can create new statuses, rights or privileges that we have not had before. Nevertheless, all this creates several challenges to be resolved: security and surveillance issues, residence and rights, tax collection and many more. The article first explains the concepts of citizenship that might be under further pressure to be changed, the rethinking of rights and duties of the e-citizens and also the identity of the e-citizens. It also explains the benefits of this new type of citizenship that is emerging and developing. Finally, it is also shortly explained how Estonian e-residency can be used as a model to create the European e-citizenship model.
