Working abroad FAQ

Can I work remotely from another country on a tourist visa?

A tourist entry does not automatically permit remote work. Rules differ by country, nationality, employer and length of stay. Check the relevant immigration authority before travelling.

Does a digital nomad visa remove tax obligations?

No. Immigration permission and tax residence are separate questions. Days present, available accommodation, income source and treaty rules may all matter.

What should I confirm with my employer?

Obtain written approval and confirm payroll, social security, insurance, data security, working hours and whether your presence could create local compliance obligations.

Which documents are commonly requested?

Typical evidence includes a valid passport, remote employment or client contracts, income records, health insurance, accommodation and criminal-record documents. The official programme controls.
