Hello Sajha friends, Is there any Sajha thread or a Facebook group or any forum of US-based people working remotely from Nepal? While many of us work for few weeks remotely during our stay in Nepal, I was wondering if there are folks working primarily from Nepal or at least several months every year. I would like to hear their experience living in Nepal for extended periods while primary home is still in the US. Assessments from people stranded in Nepal due to COVID will also be very helpful. Any leads, ideas, tips, or insights? Thank you. Edit: Speculations about company policies or immigration issues are not important for my case. Just trying to hear experience and any major unforeseen problems from US-based people in Nepal. (Sorry for the confusion because I forgot to include this detail in my original post). Thank you for all your valuable inputs. Last edited: 08-Jun-20 07:22 PM

It all depends on company’s policy. But I don’t think any US based company will let remote work all year round outside the country when use of Production data is inevitable mainly due to privacy law.

@sql_server, i guess developers who don't need to access production level data should be ok.

I can understand a few weeks here and there but usually companies won't allow you to work from overseas for months. If that is the case, they will rather hire someone from offshore for a much cheaper cost.
