Living in Guatemala while working in Haiti

Can I work remotely for a company in Haiti while being in Guatemala?

It is usually doable, but we recommand to check the following key points first:

1. Can you legally work in the country where you are going to work?
2. Are you going to be working in a company that is based in that country?
3. Is the country you are going to be working in a country that is part of the EEA?

If you can answer yes to all of the above, you can go ahead and apply for your work permit.
For the majority of the countries that are part of the EEA (European Economic Area), there is a special agreement between the EU and those countries which allows the citizens of the EEA to work in that country.
So, if you are a citizen of a country that is part of the EEA, you can legally work in any other EEA country, and the other EEA countries can legally work in the country you are coming from.
If you are a citizen of a non-EEA country, you can work in any EEA country. However, if you want to work in a non-EEA country, you need a work permit.
If you are a non-EEA citizen, you can only work in a country that is part of the EEA, or in a country that is part of the European Union, or in a country that is a member of the European Free Trade Association.
