I can confirm. I wrote the guide above and spend a lot of time dealing with the immigration office. They're a real box of chocolates, and some are filled with raisins.
Thanks for that resource, it was extremely helpful when renewing my visa.
I always love reading such comments. I'm glad it was useful to you!

#163I think the European Union has great mobility rules, so one can now live anywhere, without needing papers to travel or move; now if it can manage to create nomadic visas that permit qualified workers from outside to join this system (like the US O-1 visa, but valid for all EU countries), it would be a great driver to innovation in Europe. (I will share that idea with the Commission.) Can't speak to the legal elements…
I randomly saw this: https://expertvagabond.com/digital-nomad-work-visas/ (not sure how reliable the info is).

#164I’d suggest this site is practically useless if you care about following the laws of the countries you’re visiting.
I don’t know of many countries that allow regular work of any kind, on a tourist visa, regardless of where you’re technically employed.
Yeah sure if you’re on holiday and answer a work email no one cares. But rocking up and working from a cafe 5 days a week for 6 months is clearly a different case.

Oh damn, thx. Found this font on a website of a nuxt-package and it's supposed to be a well readable font even for people with limited eyesight. Guess not if it's not shown at all... Suggestion? Use a regular font or adjust browser-specific?
It's 6 hours later and the issue is still there.
Should be done! Thanks for your hint.

Some tourist visas allow you to stay quite long in a country. Of course it's illegal to work in a foreign country on a tourist visa. I added a note in the bottom of the filter section on remote work with a tourist visa. Maybe make in more prominent? The issue is also mentioned in the FAQs.
My initial suggestion would be to at least list it below work visas - it caught me off guard to see it at the top on a website about working :) I really like the site design, by the way! Did you use anything to achieve the consistent look?
Thank you! You are right and I adjusted it. I use Vuetify which is a great design framework for Nuxt/Vue.

#167The first thing I did was check for Costa Rica's new digital nomad visa, which they don't list on this site yet because it just got signed into law a few days ago: https://ticotimes.net/2021/08/11/costa-rica-signs-law-to-att... Highly suggested! This country is the best, I've been here for the better part of a decade now and can't recommend it enough. There's fibre to the home rollout in more of the country than I've…
Nice! I’ve actually read an article about Costa Rica recently saying that it’s a really good place to live. But that article actually pointed out that living costs are a bit high there and are more of a downside of the country. But you’re now saying they are low? Have to say that I’m from Germany, so depends what is the comparison. But Germany is not really cheap, and that article was from a German author.
Another thing that I'm always wondering about with tropic countries is: How about malaria and other diseases there? Is that a problem?
Because actually two weeks ago I had to kill seven mosquitoes in one single night here in my flat in Berlin/Germany. So I’m wondering how this would be if I lived in Costa Rica lol
