> argument behind preventing remote-work visas A remote employer may not pay all the local taxes and contributions. In particular, in EU a part of the social security contributions is usually paid by the employer, not employee. The remote worker will benefit from the social security paid by others .

It may give the remote employers an unfair competitive advantage wrt the local economy.
