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)
Re:Estonia: Become an E-Resident by bitL on Thursday November 17, 2022 @01:51PM (#33643695)
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.

I must have misread, my apologies. I guess it's time to take a break.
