You've probably already thought about this, but you might want to make sure clients understand the legal side of things. We've certainly had some cases at Mozilla where remote workers had to be "reminded" that we could only pay them if they maintained residency in their official company of employment, that they would be in violation of the tourist visa they had traveled to these other locations under if they worked t…

I doubt that for $1600 a month this includes all the legal paperwork in order to work in Portugal, Mexico and Indonesia. It's another abuse of the visa-free status many Westerners are given by countries that wish to attract tourists. This is the second one I've seen today. First is here - http://…

Hey, thanks for the well thought out comment, the price point is for a certain group who wants total peace of mind not only in terms of internet speed etc. http://nomadforum.io/ has some pretty diverse people, i'd ask people there, maybe someone knows someone who knows the perfect website-less place.

Right to the point, that's one of the reasons we choose the countries we did, as they make it OKish to work for a non-local (!!!) company. The Chiang Mai raid a few weeks ago was good example and scared a lot of people, but overall the risk is manageable.

The Chiang Mai raid a few weeks ago I was confused by your seemingly conflicting comments (the other was about the six month visa allowing remote work), so I Googled it: http://asiancorrespondent.com/127125/thailand-immigration-of... Foreigners working for a Thai firm must hold a valid non-immigrant (Type B) visa, but so-called ‘digital nomads’ – who are often self-employed – can sidestep that requirement. So, the 'r…
