The loophole is not telling anyone. People love to make a big deal out of location, but if you can have a remote job and keep the hours they're looking for, just do it, don't tell immigration in the counties you enter, and don't tell your company, and there will be no issue. Otherwise you risk wasting a bunch of time on paperwork for no reason just to satisfy some bureaucrats need to be involved.
- icedchai 3y agoI knew a guy who did this 10 years ago. He was living somewhere in South America, working an east coast US job remotely. He owned a property in his home state, rented it out, and used that as his "home address" for mailing/tax purposes. He also VPN'd into his home state just in case IT asked why he was connecting from a foreign country.
