>>I will anyways be charged in my home country for foreign income, I think. For most countries in the world if you are not considered a resident then you usually are not taxed on foreign income. A counterexample is the USA, as Americans are taxed based on citizenship, and not residency[1]. This is a complicated but important topic. Consulting an accountant is your best option for your taxes. Visas depend entirely on the countries that you intend to stay in. If you're only staying for 2-3 months at a time, it seems likely you will trigger any residency issues so perhaps visitor visas will be sufficient. However, another variable dominating ease of visa issuance is your passport/nationality[2]. I'm not a lawyer, and visas are easy to mess up and cause issues without careful planning, research and sometimes consultation with immigration attorneys (or at least discussing with the embassies/consulates of the countries you intend to rotate through). Best of luck! [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_taxation#Citizenship https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_taxation#Citizen...

Indeed, the rule of thumb is that you're taxed in your country of residency. Even US citizens get taxed in the country of residency, except that they need to do a US federal tax return in addition to their local tax return. The get a tax credit of whatever they paid in their residency country, so most of the time they don't have to pay any US taxes. Of course to declare a job in your residency country you'll need a work visa, and I think it will be very difficult (impossible?) to obtain one in most countries if you don't have a local job. Long story short, I think people working abroad remotely with a company in their home country are either (1) on a spouse visa of (2) breaking the immigration laws of their residency country.
