The author of this article did a terrible job identifying the problem (and if there is one) and justifying the solution.
There's nothing illegal about working online from your laptop on a tourist visa, nobody that i'm aware of has ever been thrown in jail or busted by immigration from the USA to Thailand to Romania for working in a cafe on their Macbook.
The Estonia digital nomad visa does sound quite friendly however, especially the part about the 'e-resident' not even being required to pay taxes to Estonia, just that their tax residency is legal. Well played again, Estonia.
- amorphid 9y agoIt may not be illegal, but you don't want to have to explain working remotely to a guard/agent at the border. It you even hint that you are entering a country to work without proper authorization, you're gonna have a bad time.
- pentae 9y agoI've done it about 100 times. "I have an online business in $homecountry and work from my laptop". Never had a problem.
