How a company in Côte d’Ivoire can send my salary in Nicaragua?

When working remotely for a corporation in Côte d’Ivoire, you salary can be send to Nicaragua but it is not possible to send it in the other way. You have to pay the taxes and the company must pay the taxes for you.

You can’t.
If you are working in the US, you have to pay US taxes. If you are working in a foreign country, you have to pay taxes in that country.
You can’t get around this by working for a US company and sending your money to Nicaragua. The US company has to pay US taxes on your salary, and then you have to pay taxes on the money you get from them. So the money you get is not really yours. If you don’t pay US taxes, the IRS will come after you. If you don’t pay Nicaraguan taxes, the NIC will come after you. If you don’t pay both, the IRS and NIC will come after you.
The only way to avoid this is to work for a US company that doesn’t pay US taxes, and then to send the money to Nicaragua. This is a very expensive and very risky business, and most US companies will not do it. So you are left with the option of working for a US company that does pay US taxes, and then sending the money to Nicaragua.

I know it is a bit late, but I found the answer to this question in the IRS Publication 946, Foreign Earned Income.
