The problem with living on tourist visas
Plenty of remote workers hop between countries on tourist entries. It works until a border officer asks what you do for a living.
Tourist entries don't cover work
In many countries a tourist entry doesn't allow any work, even remote work for a U.S. employer.
Tax residency sneaks up
Stay long enough in one place, often around 183 days, and you may owe tax there as well as at home.
Healthcare gaps
Your U.S. plan usually stops at the border, and travel insurance has limits.
