Maybe if you are in a country with super low taxes for IT folks like Romania, Poland, Croatia etc. But that won't work in Germany, Benelux, France, Spain, Italy, Scandinavia where taxes can be 40-60% at that income level.

What I meant is if you spend less than 180 days in a country (in general), you are not taxed in that country irregardless of whether you have a Dubai visa or not. You can alternate between any 2-3 countries and it doesn't have to include Dubai. Country of citizenship is mostly irrelevant unless you are American.
I think you'd need at least one country to give you a taxation statement for a given year or you risk your home country will extract those taxes from you later. I can ask my tax person about it.
I get you don't really understand well how these things work. I suggest you don't give advice in this area. Some people will find themselves in trouble because of it.
I am not giving advice, every country is different. But that is the most common rule, with some caveats.
I think Spain has the "Beckam Law" that you don't get taxed for 6 years if your revenue comes from out of Spain (remote work)
You need to reside at least 10 years in Spain before you can invoke Beckham's Law, so not an option for many people.
I searched online and it says:
> Not having been a resident during the 10 years immediately preceding the date of application.
Which is different from what you said.
