      This application is a must to have in these countries, since there’s just too many limitations without it. For example, in case you need to access a Bank abroad without the “PIN-Calculator” and SMS. Otherwise, there’s digitalized ID Card option, which then supports NFC and common card readers you could connect to a portable USB card reader. Yet, it also requires a biometry to create one: https://www.migracija.lt/ (I want to get the personal identity card and/or the passport of the Republic of Lithuania…)

      Perhaps, we travel or live in too different regions, and where I usually adventure it’s already required to have an ID, also frequently backed by biometric data, to be stored at Government’s databases.
