Are you going to be paid in the US? Or the other country?
If the other country, you'll need a visa with work entitlements, and you'll want to fill in a U.S. Form 1040 when you file your taxes. Generally you won't be taxed twice.
On the other hand, if you go somewhere on a tourist visa - say for 3 months - and get paid in the US, it's business as usual.
- noodle 19y agoi'm looking at tourist visas and being paid entirely in the US. i'll probably maintain an official residence with my parents if i end up doing this.
- astrec 19y agoNice one. I've done exactly this 3 or 4 times without a problem. But, a) Don't mention the word 'work' when passing through immigration. b) Ensure you're carrying a credit card, and can produce evidence of a bankroll large enough to cover your entire stay. c) Don't carry hardcopy docs e.g. functional specs, and bury email that mentions timelines in webmail or some such. d) Think of the rest of us when you're hacking from a bungalow on Phi Phi Island. All this sounds excessively cloak and dagger until you're in an interview room with some muppet pawing at your laptop.
