How does this work practically for a US-based company? Since this is a remote work
visa, can they even physically work at a Korea-based office or subsidiary?
Also, there's a 17 hour time difference between Korea and Los Angeles.
- huimang 3y ago> The workcation visa doesn't allow holders to apply for a job within Korea. Foreigners will need other working visas to do so. My understanding is there are other visas for people working at a Korea-based office. It definitely won't work for people who need to be on the same working hours though. I've done that with east coast (13 hours ahead) and it was rough.
- CPLX 3y agoOut of sheer curiosity, what's the difference between a 17 hour difference and a 7 hour difference? I guess the day of the week?

- redleader55 3y agoIt's Friday in US, but Saturday in Korea. On Monday in Korea, you have to wait until the next day for them to work. You only have 1h-2h before the work day in Korea to sync with them in US, only on the West Coast, only 4 days a week.
- csa 3y agoFor “nomads”, I think the more common situation is that the nomad works roughly 2am to 10am Tuesday to Saturday, maybe shifted to 6am to 2pm for half day overlap. There are no syncing issues this way.
