No, traveling as a tourist means you are not allowed to work in the country for any employer in that country . Not you are not allowed to work at all . If it were the latter, you would not legally be able to check your work emails while i

Under the long-term visa, you cannot work for an Icelandic employer. You can work for an international employer, just like you can when you're staying for tourism. There is no difference.

Honestly, what is the appeal of this? The minimum salary requirements are absurdly high. There are nice landscapes and environments available for much cheaper requirements, likely in one's own current country. The incentive for Iceland

Please show me one grocery store where you can buy imitation human meat. Or ten strangers on the street who'd be OK with it compared to those who'd be OK with imitation animal meat. It is absolutely not acceptable.

You're ignoring my point. Why is imitation human meat not an acceptable thing, but imitation animal meat is?

You'd similarly not see any issues with human meat substitutes being sold at your local grocery store? Curious how that's not a thing, huh?

You'll note I specifically talked about main dishes. Yes, of course, every country will have some food that just happens to be vegan. But only a few countries and regions of the world have actual cuisines and main meals which are vegan

My point is that veganism is an ideology and a philosophy, it's not just a lifestyle choice. Not eating or otherwise using animal products does not make someone a vegan--it's a necessary prerequisite, of course, but not the sole r
