Thanks, gregjor. There's nothing inherently wrong with freelancing, but it does create more hurdles when it comes to things like bank loans and other financial matters compared to a permanent job. Having steady, long-term employment can simplify these processes. I agree that for the right candidate, some (but not most) companies will go the extra mile to hire them, and that was my case in a previous role. However, that's also why I'm specifically asking if there are lists of companies that use EOR services like Deel. These services handle much of the paperwork, essentially acting as a proxy for the employer. Knowing which companies are already set up with an EOR shows they have a remote-first mindset, which helps narrow down the search and target those companies more effectively.

I haven't tried to get a big loan but I haven't had any problem buying a car, renting an apartment, or getting credit cards since I started freelancing. Worst case they ask to see a few years of tax returns. Deel shows off their customers on their web site, which gives me the impression they will happily tell you which companies hire through them. Maybe ask them for a list. I don't know about Deel. I have a couple of friends who work through Iglu in Thailand, same kind of thing. They do get a visa with work permit and health insurance but they give up 30% of their income. No thanks, I can do a lot better freelancing. I think you mentioned Spain, which offers remote worker visas now.
