Living in one country while working for an employer in another
country is not a new phenomenon, but, until recently, legitimate
paths for doing so were limited, expensive and often
bureaucratic.
Consequently, many people chose to label themselves as
"tourists" or "business visitors" whilst
working remotely, risking fines or other penalties for illegal
working or even deportation if caught.
However, with more and more people being able to work remotely,
it is increasingly common for individuals to work whilst on holiday
or take extended trips overseas whilst working for their employer
in their home country. Whilst some countries may have relaxed
immigration requirements regarding short (or longer)-term remote
working, in this new and evolving landscape, adherence to social
security regulations has become more crucial than ever.
