I have set up plans to work from another country for a month, but as I’m filling out the form with my company, it is asking me wether or not I have a temporary work visa from that country for tax reasons.
I don’t have time to get it as it takes months and my trip is coming up.
My question is - have any of you been asked to show proof of your temporary work visa?
Do you get a temp work visa for every country you visit (assuming you tell your employer)?
I planned to work remotely from a different country for a short period, and my company had a form asking about a temporary work visa. Like you, I didn’t have the visa because the process was lengthy, and my trip was already close.
In my case, I explained the situation to my employer, emphasizing the temporary nature of my stay and the fact that it was more of a “working holiday.” Fortunately, they were understanding and didn’t require the temporary work visa for such a short period. However, this can vary depending on the company’s policies and the country you’re traveling to.
For each country I’ve worked from remotely, I haven’t always gotten a temporary work visa, especially for short stays. It’s important to communicate openly with your employer and understand the legal implications in the country you’re visiting.
And if you’re looking for accommodations during your trip, I found Rebookify really helpful for finding good hotel deals. It eased my travel expenses significantly. Just be sure to keep your employer in the loop and understand the tax and legal implications of working remotely from another country.
