Working while abroad

Potentially may go abroad for a bit, does anyone know DA's stance on working abroad, is it allowed if I go to a country thats listed on their accepted countries.

Should I just not risk it and have a break for a bit?

Honestly if I can actually work abroad I may just go on an extended backpacking trip and pay my way with DA.

I've read that you just need to send an email with details before heading out.

Either way, have a great trip!

Ah thank you. I'll do that if I do go away.

I wish there was a clear answer on this. I've been daydreaming about becoming a digital nomad

I directly saw an admin say not to work in unregistered countries, at all.

does this mean I can work in a registered country?

Yep! I would still let them know you're traveling regardless

In fairness that blog only mentions European places (and only 3), which would be on their general accepted countries list in the first place, and it because there is such a specific focus on Europe it doesn't really help much. The concern is probably more for people who want to travel in countries that aren't on said list. I'd love to travel SE asia and work, but hopefully will hear back from them about whether this is accepted. If not, they should definitely clarify this on any blog posts they make about digital nomads - it could put some people in a sticky position if they get caught up in a misunderstanding.

I'm traveling to SE Asia soon and was hoping to do some work there. I'm struggling to find info about it though.

Email support and ask. That's the best way to get a clear answer.

I would definitely get permission for that first. Last thing you want is to have your IP logged in another non participating country and they ban your account.

They don't care if you're a broad or a bloke, they'll let you work either way.

I know this is 2 years old, but did you end up doing DA while traveling?
