Many are former city-dwellers in search of an elusive prize in authoritarian China: Space for open discussion and exchange of ideas. POLICE OVERSIGHTThe local government has sought to attract young tech talent and in September asked digital nomads for input on policies, two community organisers told Reuters. Many digital nomads who use co-working spaces are involved with technologies like blockchain, according to organisers, which they say has drawn scrutiny from local authorities. "We are more low-key and don't emphasise digital nomads in our marketing anymore," one co-working space staffer told Reuters, adding that conservative local governments in rural towns like Dali are "cautious of emerging technologies". Since digital nomads, unlike university students, "are not subject to structured discipline, they are harder to manage", she said.

☆ Shakira's tax fraud battle is a warning for all remote workers

Shakira reached a deal to resolve charges that she failed to pay Spanish income tax from 2012 to 2014. Spain accused her of improperly filing taxes to the Bahamas when she spent the majority of her time in Spain. Remote workers should take extra care when filing taxes to avoid US penalties. The New York Times previously reported that Americans who pay a foreign income tax might be able to get a deduction when filing their US tax return, but it depends on the foreign country's tax rules. Still, some visa programs allow visitors to work remotely while avoiding a local income tax for under a year.

Insider talked to Soomro and Gatsos Young for advice on how other small-business owners could successfully market in smaller online communities. Danish SoomroSometimes this is very straightforward — for instance, when marketing Devi, Soomro joined several entrepreneurship groups, since those include his target audience. "If you're in a huge community, you might not even get noticed," Gatsos Young said. To find the right groups, Soomro said, you can search Facebook by keyword or look online for top groups for your audience segment (e.g., "top groups for female entrepreneurs"). Sales is an inherent benefit of being part of these communities, but you shouldn't approach them with the intention of getting business, Gatsos Young said.

The pandemic might be over, but working remotely is a trend that's set to stay as millennials and Gen Z's continue to work while visiting their favorite destinations. That's according to WorkMotion, a Berlin-based human resource platform, which analyzed 85 cities around the globe to see how easy and attractive they were for remote workers. The report refers to "workcation" as a short term residence — of about 12 months or fewer — in a country while working remotely for a existing employer. "Not many cities can offer them all, but it's undeniable that cities legislating to attract remote workers become far more attractive than those that don't," he said, elaborating that only a handful of cities in the study offered remote workers a digital nomad visa that would allow them to continue employment in the country they relocated to. Only 17 out of the 85 cities offer a digital nomad visa for remote workers.
