<p>The set of core services on AWS remains amazing: EC2, S3, IAM, EKS, Route53, RDS etc.<p>AWS IAM is extremely well designed when you compare it with the spaghetti monster IAM systems of other clouds.<p>Every time I try the new cool thing supposed to replace these services on some other provider - I understand how mature and polished the AWS ones are.<p>With that said, the rest 90% of AWS services like WorkMail, Cognito, API Gateway, are absolute hot garbage which no good meaning AWS expert will touch with a 10 meter stick.</p>

<p>I hate to say it, but you don't have any issues mainly because the romanian tax office is just more relaxed than the german one.<p>> A company is considered tax resident in Romania if it has its ‘place of effective management’ (POEM) in Romania.<p>All EU countries have the same laws in this regard, as it is a precondition for joining the EU.</p>

<p>Yes, the specific details are outlined in the bilateral tax treaties between Estonia and the given country, but it is almost always tax evasion.<p>It mostly makes sense for people from countries with weak corporate tax enforcement that need a limited liability entity in a reputable jurisdiction like Estonia.</p>

<p>Please read up on what a permanent establishment means from a tax perspective. Most countries tax laws, especially EUs unambiguously state that the Estonian company will be taxed as if it was a company in your primary residence country.<p>The e-residence website repeats this many times, with many examples focusing on Germany.<p><a href="https://learn.e-resident.gov.ee/hc/en-gb/articles/360002542838-Determining-PE-and-corporate-residence-examples" rel="nofollow">https://learn.e-resident.gov.ee/hc/en-gb/articles/3600025428...</a><p>The whole e-residence thing only makes sense if you are from a non-EU country which doesn’t model its tax code on the OECD model.<p>People do get away with it until they get audited.</p>

Rust has a ton of faults, but this is was a very shallow critique.</p>

<p>You are arguing about semantics of residence permit vs work authorization which is not the core of the issue. If you get fired and don’t find a new employer then you leave in 3 months.<p>Also, it is definitely not just a formality to change employers. For example, on a blue card the new employer must prove to the ministry that they couldn’t find anyone local or EU to fill this position aka “Labour Market Test”. The position needs to be registered in a special gov database to prove that, etc, etc.</p>

<p>Really?
Most if not all EU work permits, especially highly-qualified ones are tied to an employer for at least the first 2+ years. If you get fired you have up to 3 months to find another employer who is willing to take over your residence permit.</p>
