Can I work remotely in Switzerland for a company in Haiti?

Yes it’s perfectly possible, but we advise first to check the following points:

  1. Your country of origin
  2. The nationality of your employer
  3. The nationality of the company you want to work for
  4. The nationality of the country you want to work for
  5. The visa status of the company you want to work for
  6. The visa status of the country you want to work for

For all these questions we recommend you to contact our partners in Switzerland.

How can I find a remote job in Haiti while living in Switzerland?

When things work out well, it’s possible to find remote jobs in Haiti even if you are located in Switzerland, for that we have to consider a few things.

What is the difference between a remote job and a remote work?
The definition of remote work is not easy to define, as it depends on the context. The World Economic Forum defines remote work as “work that is performed from a location other than the workplace, such as from home, from a coworking space, or from a coffee shop.”
In other words, remote work is work that is done in a different location than the place where the employee is physically located. It’s also work that is not performed by the employee in his or her own workplace.
The way I see it, remote work is the opposite of remote jobs. The latter are jobs that are performed from a remote location, but the employee is physically located in the company’s headquarters.
I think that the key difference is that remote jobs are usually done by employees who work in a company’s headquarters, while remote work is done by employees who work from a remote location.
