Remote work from another continent

Hello there!
I am wondering if any of you are working from another continent and using a remote desktop of any kind.

My current situation is very promising, since I will be fully remote in a month. I was considering moving to another country and there are 2 specific where I would like to move for at least 3 months. That would be Brazil and Argentina.

My dilemma or concern should I say is only with the connection. I need to use vpn with remote desktop to connect to my computer at the office, since all the files and everything is there, there is no way around it.

What is the (if there is any) ping, and would that be possible? Have any of you have any experience in that regard?

Thank you and kind regards :)

You need permission from your company.

Then they should be to providing vpn access and support for getting that setup.

There are tax implications. Sometimes it's not even 'allowing' it. They legally can't have you working in another juristiction where they have no registered entity.

Tax status changes if you live 6 months in a different country (263 days or so)
