  Either self-employed (myself included) or create subsidiary. Hiring people directly over borders is legal nightmare. Though technically sometimes possible, tax complications are hard to follow.

  This varies. Big companies that are incorporated in many countries will just employ you in the most relevant country (including your own). Smaller companies can't do this (overhead, financial burden, regulation, blah blah blah), so they just hire you as an independent contractor. You get paid by whatever arrangement, and file your taxes accordingly. They pay an invoice file their taxes accordingly.

  When I did that (working remotely from Poland for US companies), I was self-employed and worked as a contractor.
