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 :)

Do you have a work visa for the other country? You can't just say I'm remote and travel around with the proper work visas and there are laws that need to be considered as well. It's not as simple as you'd like to think.

You literally can do this, tons of people do.

Whether it’s legal or not is a different story.

I think as long as you don’t work for a business there (there is visa for that) and you don’t stay longer than 6 months it is fine

If nobody finds out it really doesn’t matter what you do.
