Remote work abroad: a practical checklist

Quick summary

• Get written employer approval (country + dates)
• Check internet + workspace and plan a backup
• Understand tax/social security risks at a high level
• Keep the stay duration realistic
• Use tools: budget + packing list

1) Employer approval

Many companies require a policy or a request form. Include destination, dates, working hours, and your security setup.

2) Workspace + internet

Treat internet like a dependency: test it, have a hotspot plan, and choose a quiet workspace.

3) High-level risks (no advice)

Taxes, social security, and permanent establishment risks can matter for longer stays. When unsure, ask a professional.

4) Make it sustainable

Plan focus blocks, time zones, and recovery. A workation is not a vacation with emails.
