Traveling the world while working online from your laptop has been a dream for millions of self-proclaimed digital nomads.
However working from foreign countries while traveling on a tourist visa is technically illegal in most places.
Tourist visas also usually expire after 30-90 days, and it’s not always easy to renew them. What if you want to stay longer?
That doesn’t stop digital nomads from working while traveling, but it can make things complicated, and with travel restrictions due to COVID-19, it’s much more difficult to work & travel internationally.
