Re the replies that mention the UK.
Since 2014, tax residency in the UK is now quite a complicated algorithm (see https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/rdr3-statutory-re...). Provided you keep your work-days in the UK low, and can demonstrate workdays outside of the UK, it's possible to avoid tax residency.
However, it's worth considering the benefit of being a UK tax resident is that you accrue National Insurance contributions (even if the amount of those contributions is zero!), which in turn qualify you for a state pension.
