How does the country I am working in identify if I am subject to income tax in c/digitalnomad@expats.zone
[–] PingasIndustries@alien.top 1 points 9 months ago

It's a grey area. Countries have laws against foreigners working on tourist visas to protect the domestic workforce. Most really do not give a crap unless you are working there on a digital nomad visa long enough to become a tax resident, and taking in enough cash that tracking down your potential taxes is worth their time

Considerations while WFH from overseas (vpn…etc) in c/digitalnomad@expats.zone

Look in the wiki for chris guide to vpn. You need to get a couple travel routers and make a VPN so you connect to your work VPN from your home network even when you're somewhere else

If you are on a Digital Nomad Visa do you ignore the 183 days rule? in c/digitalnomad@expats.zone
[–] PingasIndustries@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

I'm curious about this too. Technically it would take a lot for them to know/prove that you were actually working in their country for 183 days, for example maybe spent a lot of time going to Latvia or Finland, there are no border controls after all. It seems like they would have to have a specific division for tracking and contacting digital nomad who they believe may owe taxes. But I'm not completely sure and hope someone posts on this thread with more info

Work laptop has location services locked. Is it over for me? in c/digitalnomad@expats.zone

Work laptop has location services locked. Is it over for me? (alien.top)
 

So the laptop provided by work, which is used to connect to a virtual machine, does not allow turning off location services, which are used pretty much all the time according to windows. Even if I were to set up a gl.inet system on my own, would this negate all of that? Are nomad dreams done for now, at least on this role?

Is this pretty much a total block on being able to DN? The work laptop needs to connect to a work VPN and then to a virtual machine. Even if I set up a homemade VPN, it seems like it would still leak the location... I see that the computer is always using location and in the settings for windows anything to do with location settings is locked. So am I stuck, at least in my country, in this role?
