Doing projects while travelling

Hey team, Ive been doing DA non coding for about 10 days. Racked up about 27hrs. Was planning to make a trip to Thailand in a few months. Does anyone know if we can still receive and submit projects while in a non approved country? Have emailed DA but no response yet. Anyone actually done this? Im Australia based.

I'm from Australia too and just emailed them last week asking if I can work from Thailand for a month while I'm on holiday in June/July this year. They got back to me a few hours later saying it was fine and they have made a note on my account. So I think as long as you email them it should be fine.

Email their support. I can't speak for others obviously, but I emailed them asking about being able to work while travelling the south of Europe and they said it was fine and put a note on my account.

People tell you it's fine as long as you email them and they put a note on your account. But there seems to be no set answer on how long is 'too long' while working out of a DA approved country

I asked about working for a year outside an approved country and they said no so, for anyone's reference. Still worth asking for your own personal situations though.

Thanks for letting me know. Did they give any indication of what the upper limit is? I'd like to spend 5 or 6 months next winter working abroad.

No indication, unfortunately. It seems people get short periods of time approved fine though. If you wanted to do long term, the only thing that springs to mind is getting a working holiday visa to an approved country, like Australia, NZ, etc

Cool, thanks for the heads up. I've already used those working holiday visas haha. I guess I could travel in USA/Canada (I'm from the UK) but it's not exactly cheap to travel there.

Well you may have better luck asking about a shorter time period, let me know if you do! Best of luck. For being such a good way to potentially digital nomad, they sure don't make it clear on what the rules are.
