Living in Sweden while working in Guatemala

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

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

  1. Is the company in a country that is a member of the EEA? If not, the company is not allowed to do work permits or work visas for their employees.
  2. If the company is in a EEA member country, the company is allowed to work permits for its employees, but the company itself is not allowed to work in the EEA member countries.
  3. The company must have a legal representative in the EEA member country. If the company has no legal representative, the company can only hire a subcontractor.

This is the first time I have seen the EEA and E3 visa.
Do you have any examples of the EEA and E3 visa being used by companies to hire workers?
The EEA and E3 visa are two different things. The EEA is a visa that allows you to live in a EEA member country. The E3 visa is a visa that allows you to work in a EEA member country.
