I will give you the issues I have encountered during the brief times I've worked remote. I absolutely loved being remote and found work arounds for most of the issues. I would be eager to have another remote contract but my very large employer definitely isn't coughing one up anytime soon.
1) Stable, fast internet for endless video-chats
2) Visa/bank account issues.
3) Company politics.
These 3 things can make working remote a challenge. Video chats are needed to simulate "in person conversations" which company executives believe improves efficiency and morale. Companies are also worried about "how do we legally pay our employees if they claim to be in the USA but are really on a tourist visa somewhere". And third, companies will often has gossip and politics and power struggles where those who are in office have more face time and promotion potential than those who are remote.
All of these things can be easily fixed but it requires the employee and the employer to not be incompetent.
