Almost every country in the world has zero day tax policies (US included). A remote work visa in Spain has you paying taxes the moment you hit the ground. Same with a DAFT visa in the Netherlands, or a business visa in Bali. The fun part is, if you spend more than 33 days that year in the US, you’ll be paying double taxes that year — even with a double-taxation treaty. A tourist visa often doesn’t excuse you from paying income taxes either, like the US. Tax laws are usually weird, and translations aren’t often available (which are separate from visa laws).

Applying for a visa with work entitlements is a completely different scenario from doing remote work on a temporary entrance visa. Which is what most digital nomads will be using (without creating any foreign tax liabilities for themselves).
Even then you’re confusing tax residency with tax liability. You can arrive in a country, and immediately create tax liability for yourself (by getting locally sourced income for example). But you’re not going to get tax residency until you’ve spent some minimum period there (usually ~6 months), even if that residency is back dated to the day your first arrived.
