When Canadians travel down to the US for work, they are always instructed to answer any questions with 'I'm just here for meetings/training', because telling CBP that you're going to be doing any programming for your Canadian employer while in the US is a great way to get denied entry.
I'm not sure how this works in the reverse direction, or in Mexico.
- ddoolin 4y agoAt least for driving, into Mexico, there is no real check. For anything. You merely drive through at speed while border guards glance into the cars. You don't actually speak to anyone unless they flag you. I think the U.S. is the only one of the three that would really care.
- alexanderchr 4y agoThey don't even check your passport?
- ddoolin 4y agoNope. It's very strange coming from just about any other border crossing.
- sidewndr46 4y agoNo one smuggles anything into Mexico other than guns. The US government takes care of that step.
- jaywalk 4y agoCanada definitely cares. Driving into Canada, every vehicle has to stop for an interview. If anything is off, they will send you off to the side for more intense scrutiny.
- ddoolin 4y agoAh sorry, I just meant about nitpicking the "working while traveling thing" -- but I was just guessing. Seems like they might care more than I expected.
- jaywalk 4y agoAgain, what you're saying is in reference to traveling for your employer. Being a "digital nomad" is traveling for yourself.
- pc86 4y agoThis is notably distinct from visa requirements, but taxes are typically owed in the jurisdiction in which the work takes place, if you are there for a certain period of time or longer. The exact time period varies based on locality (state/county/city in the US). It is complex enough that the only answer that is definitely wrong is "I'm just traveling for me so I can do whatever I want."
- scarface74 4y agoIf you’re a professional athlete, and I’m almost sure none of us are, you pay taxes for each state where you played a game. I’m not sure how it is apportioned.
- shagie 4y agoAs an extreme example of this: https://kansaspolicy.org/rethinking-taxes-around-remote-work/ https://kansaspolicy.org/rethinking-taxes-around-remote-work... > Kansas has policies that could deter remote work and are deterring greater interstate work with our neighbors. Kansas requires employer withholding for people working in the state just for one day, which creates an annoying hurdle for companies trying to operate even in a small capacity in Kansas. In 2020, the Kansas legislature considered a bill that would have extended the withholding requirement period to 30 days, but the proposal died
