For remote workers

Work the same job from a better place. Legally, and without the Wi-Fi anxiety.

Your job already lets you work from anywhere. So why are you still in the same apartment you have outgrown? It is not the work. It is the open questions you cannot Google your way out of: am I even allowed to work on a tourist stamp, will this blow up my taxes, what do I tell my employer, and what happens to a 9am standup when I am eight hours ahead. Those questions are answerable. They are just answerable in the wrong order on the internet.

How it helps

How Nomad helps remote workers move

Four things decide whether working abroad is a dream or a liability: whether you are there legally, what it does to your taxes, whether your employer is comfortable, and whether the internet holds. Your plan settles all four before you go.

Know whether you can legally work there, before you book

Working remotely on a tourist entry is a grey area in some countries and a hard no in others, and digital-nomad visas exist precisely to fix it. Your plan tells you which applies at your destination and which route makes you legitimately allowed to work, so you stop refreshing forum threads and actually commit to a place.

Get a straight answer on the FEIE and your US taxes

The Foreign Earned Income Exclusion can change your tax bill significantly, but only if you meet the residency or physical-presence tests, and the timing is easy to fumble. Your plan maps the tests, the days that count, and the deadlines that matter, then points you to a vetted CPA, which means you keep more of what you earn instead of guessing and hoping.

A clean answer for your employer

The conversation that stalls most remote moves is the one with HR. Your plan lays out the legality and tax picture clearly enough that you can bring your employer a plan, not a problem, which is often the difference between a yes and an indefinite maybe.

Internet and a place to actually work

A beautiful destination with unreliable fibre is a career risk, not a lifestyle upgrade. Your plan flags real connectivity, backup options, and coworking at each destination, so your first video call from abroad is boring in the best way and your manager never notices a difference.

Everything in the order that keeps the paycheck safe

Visa, tax setup, employer sign-off, and the physical move have a sequence, and doing the move before the legality is settled is how people end up scrambling. Your plan dates each step so the next move is always clear and your income never hangs on a loose end.

Can I legally work my remote job from another country?

Sometimes on a tourist entry, often not, and increasingly there is a dedicated digital-nomad visa that makes it clearly legal. It depends entirely on the destination. Your plan tells you which situation applies and the route that makes you properly allowed to work, so you are not relying on a grey area that could cost you re-entry.

What is the FEIE and will it lower my taxes abroad?

The Foreign Earned Income Exclusion lets qualifying Americans exclude a large chunk of foreign-earned income from US tax, but you have to meet a residency or physical-presence test and time it correctly. Your plan maps the tests and the days that count, then points you to a vetted CPA to file. Nomad maps the rules; it does not give tax advice.

How do I tell my employer I want to work from abroad?

Bring a plan, not a question. Most hesitation from HR is about legal and tax exposure they do not understand. Your plan lays out the visa legality and tax picture clearly so you can show your employer the move is handled, which turns a nervous maybe into a yes far more often.

Does W-2 versus contractor change anything?

It can change both the tax picture and what your employer is comfortable with. Contractors often have more flexibility; W-2 employees may need an employer that is set up for it. Your plan accounts for which you are and flags the pieces specific to your status.

How do I make sure the internet is good enough to work?

By checking before you commit, not after. Your plan flags real connectivity, backup options, and coworking spaces at each destination so your work never depends on a hopeful hotspot. A great place with bad fibre is a career risk, and the plan keeps you out of one.
