The digital nomad lifestyle involves traveling while working remotely, with countries like Japan considering specialized visas to support it.

Digital nomads work in fields like software development, writing, and design, using laptops, smartphones, and cloud-based software to stay productive while traveling.

Thailand and Vietnam are popular destinations for digital nomads, with Thailand offering a 90-day visa-free entry for Russian citizens, extendable to 180 days.

Portugal and Spain also offer digital nomad visas, with Portugal's visa requiring a monthly income of around $2,750 and Spain's visa requiring 80% of income to come from outside Spain.

Thailand's digital nomad visa costs 10,000 THB and requires applicants to have 500,000 THB in a bank account and proof of registered company employment.

Russian digital nomads face cybersecurity and data protection risks when working abroad, and may be subject to a 13-15% personal income tax rate.

Digital nomads often rely on coworking and coliving spaces, and use tools like ClickUp, Miro, and Google's Jamboard for remote collaboration.

Remote desktop software, video conferencing tools like Zoom, and project management software like Trello and Asana also facilitate remote work.

Russian digital nomads can manage their tax obligations through the "Gosuslugi" platform, and are taxed at a uniform rate of 13-15% regardless of tax residency.

The tax rate applies to Russian company employees working abroad, and foreign companies must register as tax agents for Russian employees or have them file and pay taxes independently.

Content: WFH to Japan? Government proposes digital nomad visa to attract remote office workers
Author: United Morning Post
Published: Updated:
The Japanese government is considering issuing digital nomad visas to attract “digital nomads ” who travel around the world while working remotely to Japan.
As more and more countries introduce digital nomad visas, the Japanese government also hopes to boost spending by foreign visitors by creating a convenient environment for highly skilled digital workers.
The visa programme is expected to be completed this month.
According to the data, there are an estimated 35 million digital nomads worldwide, who spend about US $787 billion (about HK $6.16 billion) annually.
According to an overseas survey, about 66% of digital nomads stay in the same place for three to six months.
In order to attract this group of highly skilled, high-income digital nomads to stay in Japan for more than 90 days, the Japanese government is considering issuing long-term visas.
According to the current regulations, individuals must work in Japan for more than 90 days to apply for a work visa.
However, individuals who receive salaries from overseas companies are not eligible to apply for this visa; applicants must receive salaries from companies with branches in Japan in order to obtain the visa.

Countries such as Europe, Central and South America, in order to attract more digital travelers, in addition to providing long-term work visas, some countries even offer tax concessions.
According to the data, 15 European countries have introduced similar digital nomadic visas, but the application criteria vary, such as Croatia requires applicants to earn no less than 2,300 euros (about HK $19,000) a month, Iceland requires 7,100 euros (about HK $59,000), Portugal requires no less than 700 euros (about HK $5,860), and Spain sets the income threshold at around 2,000 euros (about HK $17,000).

Content: 24 year old girl working in 20 countries in 5 years sharing 4 financial management tips for being a “digital nomad ”
Personal Value Added 21: 30 2023 / 06 / 10
Share:
Share:
Remote work during the pandemic made home-based work or digital nomad popular, and Canadian schoolgirl Daniella Pashuk became a digital nomad five years ago.
At that time, the new crown had not yet broken out, and only at the age of 19, she entered an online university and began working full-time while traveling.
The term “digital nomads ” refers to people who travel freely while working remotely on the Internet.
They usually have the least material possessions. They work online using computers or smartphones in temporary homes, hotels, cafes, public libraries, shared offices or motorhomes. They often move between different countries and regions, and work as programmers, designers, writers, translators, etc.
“I can go where I want to go and do what I want in different countries.
It changed the trajectory of my life, "she told CNBC.
Pashuk, 24, has traveled to more than 20 countries in five years and is a freelance writer whose monthly income fluctuates.
“My monthly income ranges from $2,500 to $3,500 … Some months I travel as a family nanny, so I don ’ t have to pay any accommodation fees. ”
It also means that she has to plan her finances with extra care, although she can travel and work whenever she wants.
“You have to accept a little bit of unpredictability … each month looks different because you ’ re often in different regions, in different currencies, with different spending, so forecasting is a challenge, ” she says.
Extremes like “spending 600 euros last month and 3,000 euros the next month, ” Pashuk recalls.
To be a digital nomad, she says, it ’ s important to keep your finances in good shape because you have to fund the lifestyle you really want.
She shared four financial tips for being a digital hobbyist with CNBC.
Decide what kind of digital nomad you want to be
Pashuk says that what type of digital nomad you want to be will determine your situation.
The first type is people who change places frequently, going to a new place every one to two weeks.
She was in this state for almost two years at one time, but then stopped doing it because she found it was too stressful for her.
This can quickly become expensive, she said, as there is a big chance of problems with each move, such as high ticket prices, train cancellations and other extra costs.
Now she ’ s a “Slow Digital Nomad ” who stays in one place for at least a month or as long as her visa allows.
Pashuk says this helps the budget because the budget is fixed for months, and you stay in the same place and still spend the same things.
In addition, building an affordable “base camp ” can go a long way, providing some stability.
Currently, Pashuk has a “headquarters ” in Montenegro, but also works in different places:“ I still travel every month, but I have a place to come back. ”
She has to spend at least a certain amount each month, such as paying rent in Montenegro, but it has little impact on the total expenditure.
2. Use the correct debit card
When Pashuk started out as a digital nomad, having a stable and reliable cash flow was a huge challenge.
Her Canadian bank account has been locked because she is constantly changing locations, which the bank thinks is a bit suspicious.
So she was forced to call the bank all the time.
In addition, when you use a Canadian card to withdraw money from a local ATM, the offshore transaction fee is also considerable.
“Sometimes I lose $30 to $40 every time I withdraw cash, and if you have to withdraw it multiple times, you lose a lot of money. ”
Two years ago, she switched to a multi-currency debit card, which allowed her to top up and withdraw cash in the currency she wanted. Pashuk said she saved her freelance earnings into the card and took it to more than 20 countries without any problems.

3.
Do full research.
She said that as a digital traveller, in the process of moving to a workplace, it is really important to do adequate research.
To figure out the average local prices, determine if they fit your budget, and find the average prices for Airbnb apartments, food, and other essentials.
Before going somewhere, Pashuk always makes a small table of the items needed for life.
“You never know what unknowns might creep up and steal your money. ”
For example, public transport can be prohibitively expensive in some countries. People often don ’ t think of this, Pashuk shares, because public transport is always cheap where you ’ re staying. “But I went to London and it cost a lot more than I thought, up to $20 a day. ”
Pay close attention to tax requirements
Pashuk also regularly keeps an eye on the latest tax requirements of different countries to ensure that a stay in one country is not long enough to be considered a tax resident.
"I just don't want to deal with it," she said. "Canada's taxes are enough for me."
If you ’ re considering becoming a “slow-moving digital traveller, ” Pashuk suggests studying digital traveller visas, as they typically offer tax relief — and some even complete exemption.
The more you travel, the more accurate you can predict how much you will spend, she says.
“Where you can cut costs, you have to be a little smart.
Being financially proficient is definitely a good thing in the long run and can keep you moving forward. ”

Russians will not be able to use the new service, reports “Tourist ”, referring to RBC.
It is available only to citizens of those countries with which Japan has signed a tax agreement and an agreement on short-term visa-free entry.

Content: Thailand extends visa-free regime for Russian citizens up to 60 days
Now this norm has become permanent.
The Thai government has replaced the temporary 60-day visa-free period for citizens of Russia and 93 other countries with a permanent one.
According to IA "Khabarovsk Territory today" with reference to RIA Novosti, the relevant order approved by the head of Prime Minister Settha Thavisin, was published on the eve of the state edition of the Royal Government Gazette, similar to the Russian portal of legal acts.
– To allow holders of passports or documents replacing the passport of countries and territories on the following list, temporary entry into the territory of the Kingdom for tourist purposes for a period of up to 60 days.
This order is valid from July 15, 2024, - stated in the published document.
It is noted that Russia and Thailand for more than 15 years provide on a mutual basis a 30-day visa-free entry to citizens of the Russian Federation to Thailand and citizens of Thailand to the Russian Federation in accordance with the intergovernmental agreement on this issue.
In addition to it, currently for Russians there is a 60-day visa-free entry to the Kingdom, which was allowed by a separate order of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Thailand from April 30 unilaterally and as an exception, it is valid until October 31.
In addition, as reported by TASS, the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Thailand recently published a number of proposals that provide for the introduction of visa exemptions for “digital nomads ” working remotely around the world, and those who are going to receive education in Thailand.
They all received the support of the government.
Thus, foreigners who plan to work in the kingdom will be allowed to stay in the country for up to 180 days with the right to extend for another period of time on a special visa, the validity of which is 5 years.
The same visa can be obtained by those wishing to engage in Thai boxing, the study of Thai cooking, medical tourists, participants of scientific and music festivals.
In addition, foreign students who have received at least a bachelor ’ s degree in Thailand will be able to stay in the country for one year after graduation.

Immigration Central | Digital Nomad Visa to replace Portugal’s Golden Visa programme

It's end of the road for Golden Visa, those interested in the real-estate route to residency will have to buy property in the Autonomous Regions of the Azores and Madeira or in the interior territories, Lisbon, Porto, Algarve and more are out of bounds now. The recently launched Digital Nomad Visa will now be the best route for moving to Portugal

After imposing stricter requirements, the Prime Minister of Portugal, António Costa, has hinted at the end of the popular Golden Visa programme. The recently launched Digital Nomad Visa will now be the best route for moving to Portugal.

Following the footsteps of Malta, Cyprus and Bulgaria, Portugal might abolish its much-sought after Golden Visa programme. Though no formal official announcement has been made but Costa recently said, the government is re-evaluating programmes, including the Golden Visa, a fast-track residence visa issued to non-European Union (EU) nationals who have made a significant investment in Portugal, such as purchasing real-estate, making a capital investment, or creating employment opportunities.

“There are programmes that we are currently re-evaluating and one of them is the gold visa which, probably, has already fulfilled the function it had to fulfil and which, at this moment, it is no longer justified to maintain,” the Prime Minister has said.

It may be recalled that recently the Portuguese government had enforced stricter requirements for the Golden Visa by raising the Investment Fund option from €350,000 to €500,000; Capital Transfer from €1 million to €1.5 million and narrowing real-estate purchase options. For real-estate properties to qualify for Golden Visa, schemes to buy in Lisbon, Porto, the Algarve and surrounding areas on the coast are no longer permissible. Those interested in the real-estate route to residency will have to buy property located in the Autonomous Regions of the Azores and Madeira or in the interior territories.

Launched in 2012, Portugal’s Golden Visa programme has attracted more than €6.5 billion in investment by foreigners, mainly from China, Brazil, South Africa and the US, and large percentage of the investment by wealthy individuals has been used to buy real-estate. In July this year, investments through Portugal’s Golden Visa programme had increased to more than €78 million, more than double the €36 million recorded in July of 2021, according to Portuguese Immigration and Border Service (SEF).

The hint of abolition of Golden Visa is also being seen as a response to a drive by the European Parliament to shrink and regulate the multi-billion-euro citizenship and visa industries, which the EU has long considered a security risk. In March this year, European Parliament’s Central Liberties Commission had called the schemes “objectionable from an ethical, legal and economic point of view.”

What seems like the end of the road for the Golden Visa programme is the beginning of the Digital Nomad Visa programme that came into effect on October 30, 2022.

From the said date, Portugal has started accepting applications from individuals for the Digital Nomad Visa (DNV) that allows individuals to live and work in the country. Officially called the “residence visa for the exercise of professional activity provided remotely outside the national territory”, the new visa is an alternative to the existing "D7" visa, a popular residency permit mostly aimed at retirees and ‘passive income’ earners.

Portugal’s DNV is divided into two categories:

  • Short stay: Aimed at remote workers looking to stay temporarily in Portugal for up to one year

  • Residency permit: For digital nomads who are looking to secure a residency visa in Portugal that can be renewed up to five years

Eligibility: To be eligible, the individual will need to make four times the current national minimum wage to live and work in the country and provide a work contract or proof that they are self-employed. The current minimum monthly income in Portugal is €705 but is increasing to €750 in 2023. The monthly earning requirement is around $2,750 (€2,836).

Where to Apply: Individuals can apply at the Portuguese Consulate in their home country. If the applicant is already in Portgual, apply at SEF (Serviço de Estrangeiros e Fronteiras), the country’s Immigration and Border Service. Application should include proof of income for the past three months, tax residency documents, and either a contract of employment or proof that you are self-employed.

D7 visa versus DNV: Through the D7 Visa, Portugal has been attracting a lot of foreigners. However, DNV and D7 are not the same, The D7 Visa allows anyone to live and work in the county as long as they can earn the Portuguese minimum wage (€822.50 per month) per month. However, these earnings must come from ‘passive’ income streams like rent or investments. On the other hand, the DNV is aimed at people that are looking to relocate on a temporary basis and offers the opportunity of living and working in Portugal, but without a long-term commitment.

Best places for Digital Nomads:

Lisbon: Has more coworking spaces than any other city in the country; the best option is Liberdade22

Porto: Porto i/o is excellent for coworking and has four locations.

Peniche: Largo is the best option

Braga: Pick from Braga I/O, Factory Braga, and Regus Branch

Sagres: Coworksurf, a global network of workspaces, was cofounded in Sagres

Coimbra: Opt for Nest Collective located in the heart of the city

Madeira: The island of Madeira has a Digital Nomads Madeira project, which is an entire digital nomad village. Located in Ponta do Sol, a small town with a population of 8,200, the project is a joint initiative of Startup Madeira and the government of Madeira. Ponto do Sol offers free working space that is located at the John do Passos Cultural Centre that was founded as a tribute to the renowned Portuguese writer John dos Passos. The Working Space (9 am to 6 pm) includes free Internet, desk and chair, desktop, and a local host.

    Thailand's 5-year visa for digital nomads: Everything you need to know

    Synopsis

    Thailand introduces the Destination Thailand Visa (DTV) targeting remote workers and digital nomads with a five-year multiple-entry option. Costing 10,000 THB, applicants need to meet age, financial, employment criteria, and maintain a 500,000 THB balance. The DTV allows legal remote work, spouse and children under 20, and exempts foreign income tax.

    Thailand has introduced the Destination Thailand Visa (DTV), aimed at boosting tourism by attracting remote workers and digital nomads. The DTV offers a five-year multiple-entry visa, allowing holders to stay in Thailand for up to 180 days each year, with an option to extend for an additional 180 days.

    This visa is designed to provide an attractive alternative to standard tourist visas, eliminating many immigration and tax concerns for long-term visitors.

    While the application process details are still pending, these basic eligibility requirements provide a preliminary guide for those interested in applying for the DTV. Further information and updates on the application process are expected to be released in July.

    How much does a Thailand DTV cost?

    The Destination Thailand Visa costs 10,000 THB. Applicants must be at least 20 years old, have sufficient funds to cover the visa fee, and demonstrate a minimum balance in their bank account.

    To be eligible for this visa, applicants must meet the following requirements, though these criteria are subject to change:
    • Applicants must be at least 20 years old.
    • They must have sufficient funds to cover the visa fee, which is 10,000 THB.
    • Applicants need to show proof of at least 500,000 THB in their bank account to support their stay in Thailand.
    • Proof of employment with a registered company is also required.
    The DTV is ideal for remote workers and digital nomads who wish to experience Thailand's culture while maintaining their professional commitments.

    Why a DTV is a good option

    The visa requires lower income requirements and fees compared to similar visas in Southeast Asia. It permits legal remote work for international clients and allows holders to bring their spouse and children under 20. Additionally, there is no tax on income derived from foreign sources during the stay in Thailand.

    However, the DTV does not permit employment with Thai companies, and changing visa types will terminate the DTV.

The document was published on the official portal of legal information.
The changes will affect employees working under employment contracts or under contracts for the performance of one-time services, regardless of tax residency.
If a resident of Russia provides services to a foreign company, it must become a tax agent and pay personal income tax for an employee at a rate of 13 or 15%.
If the foreign organization did not do this, the employee must file a declaration himself and pay the tax.

Content: How can businesses ensure their information security in 2022?
After the start of the military special operation on the territory of Ukraine, many suppliers of hardware and software solutions in the field of information security announced their intention to leave Russia.
This list includes IBM, Microsoft, Hewlett-Packard, Imperva, Cisco, Fortinet, Dell, Norton, Avast and others.
Whether Russian manufacturers will be able to meet the needs of domestic business and critical facilities, and what prospects open up in this industry, "Continent Siberia" figured out.
Escape from the West, whatever it takes.
Director of the center for monitoring and responding to cyber attacks Solar JSOC "Rostelecom Solar" Vladimir Dryukov during the forum Positive Hack Days 11 compared the current situation in the Russian market of information security with a game of chess, when the queen, rook and other strong figures suddenly disappeared from the board of the defending side.
And these pieces must be hastily replaced, at the same time trying to somehow see the attacks and repel them with pawns.
Meanwhile, Vyacheslav Barkhatov, CEO of Axoft Global, recalled that in such a sensitive area as information security, the process of import substitution began long before February 24, 2022.
“Many solutions, products existed, but worked for a few customers.
Now these products, which seemed to be waiting for their time, come to the surface and will inevitably conquer the market, ” he said.
Maxim Filippov, Business Development Director of Positive Technologies, who participated in the Positive Hack Days 11 forum, noted that his company ’ s customers are forming entire programs for product replacement.
However, according to him, the current situation with accelerated import substitution has two risks: a possible reduction in the budgets of the customer and the lack of hardware platforms.
Today, half of Russian companies share domestic information security software (antivirus, protection systems for web applications, databases, and so on) is only 15%, while in the public sector every third organization most of the protection is supplied by Russian manufacturers.
However, at the end of May 2022, seven of the eight companies using foreign information security funds said they plan to change them within the year to Russian counterparts – even if this entails an increase in costs.
The reverse side of import substitution: how Americans are struggling with a Russian company in their market
According to Innostage CEO Aidar Guzairov, the story of distrust of Western manufacturers can result in a kind of bilateral iron curtain, a situation in which not only foreign vendors wind down business, but also customers will not seek to return relations with foreign partners.
Meanwhile, Vladimir Dryukov found in this hypothetical “iron curtain ” and positive aspects: Russian developers, isolated from the world with each other, are already beginning to cooperate:“ Companies that I have always considered key competitors, like other players in the cybersecurity market, after February 24 united and together began to fight new threats, exchanging information on leaks, on software supplies, ” he stressed. it is not important that the information on the attacks does not bite inside the customer, but is brought to the community, through all available opportunities. "
Is it possible to replace everything?
The first day of the PHDays 2022 forum was marked by a panel discussion “Ensuring technological independence ”, where the question was raised: what else do Russian developers lack for complete import substitution?
It is easy to talk about the crisis as a time of opportunity, but what to do when there is nothing to replace it with?
CEO of R-Vision Alexander Bondarenko noted that despite the growing interest in the products of Russian programmers, the dependence on foreign hardware has not gone away.
And without “hardware ” there is no software – and many developments today are slowed down for the reason that they lack power.
“The iron issue is pretty serious.
We also faced delays in the supply of servers and other equipment, - commented on this thesis, the Director of sales and business development of the company "CryptoPro" Pavel Lutsik. - There is no critical situation, but the terms have increased, although we try to fulfill our obligations on the terms and the amount of equipment, and the partners-suppliers meet us. "
“We often create difficulties on our own in the way of digitalization ”
Some of the speakers saw a time of opportunity for the “iron ” industry.
“I believe that the current situation has given a significant impetus to the development of Russian developers.
At the same time, domestic products are actively developing, technologies that did not exist six months ago appear in them, ” said Sergey Kikilo, Head of Infocommunication Solutions at Innostage.
Rostelecom representatives were less optimistic in this regard, Nikolai Belobrov, Director of the Center for Integrated Projects of Rostelecom Solar Integration, reminded that despite the high share of domestic developments in the company ’ s portfolio, they cannot always be compared with Western analogues.
“In terms of ecosystems, in terms of invisibility for users, our software (software) is still lagging behind.
Perhaps we should look for our own way so that in the future we will be competitive both in the field of software and in the element base - the creation of full-cycle joint ventures, special investment zones and other things. "
He also added that the state, which is now actively cooperating with the IT industry, often seeks solutions on the principle of “as soon as possible ”, and called the measures taken by him“ Eastern substitution ” of Western solutions.
First of all, in the field of equipment.
Who is attacked, how are they attacked?
At the beginning of May 2022, Sberbank was subjected to the most powerful DDoS attack in its history.
On May 6, the botnet, which included more than 27,000 devices from around the world, hit the bank ’ s website with a capacity of at least 450 gigabytes per second.
“If until February 24, one DDoS attack per week was recorded, then in March we recorded up to 46 simultaneous DDoS attacks aimed at different Sberbank services, ” said Sergey Lebed, director of Sberbank ’ s cybersecurity department, vice president. – The attacks used a wide range of tools, including malicious codes embedded in the browsers of users who visited the websites of online cinemas. ”
Who was behind the cyberattack on the Siberian media, and for what purpose did it take place?
Today, criminals are using new tactics and tools to conduct cyberattacks, which include the introduction of code into advertising scripts, the use of a malicious extension for Google Chrome, the use of ready-made docker containers with customized attack tools.
Criminal groups are well coordinated, the total number of cybercriminals acting against Sberbank, according to Sergei Lebed, exceeds 100 thousand people.
He suggested that in the near future the number of DDoS attacks will decrease, but their capacity will continue to grow, that is, they will become more focused and coordinated.
There may also be new types of fraud due to the availability of a large number of databases.
It will be logical to further develop phishing campaigns in order to steal the credentials of employees of organizations and the subsequent penetration into the infrastructure of these organizations.
Oleg Skulkin, Head of the Laboratory for Digital Forensics and Malware Code Research at Group-IB, analyzed ten of the most popular techniques used by almost all attackers of different skill levels based on real attack scenarios in recent months.
He told how to detect malicious activity in attacks on corporate networks at the stage between obtaining initial access and the onset of negative consequences, when the means of protection failed.
So, here are these techniques that occur at different stages of the attack.
These are PowerShell, Scheduled Task, Service Execution, Registry Run Keys, Disable or Modify Tools, Rundll32, OS Credential Dumping, Remote System Discovery, Remote Desktop Protocol, SMB / Windows Admin Shares.
“This list was compiled almost entirely on the basis of the reconstructed incidents that we investigated.
These techniques often overlap.
Half or even two-thirds of the top 10 techniques constantly, from attack to attack, regardless of its complexity, will repeat, – summed up Oleg Skulkin. – In the life cycle of the attack can be a lot of things, but there are components that are relatively constant, at least some of them for sure. ”
Chief Engineer of NCCP: “Safety is our priority ”
While the number of some forms of crime in the information sphere is growing, others, on the contrary, are declining.
“This day – February 24 – can be seen in the statistics of the Who Calls system, ” recalls the chief expert of Kaspersky Lab Sergey Golovanov.
There was not a single phone call from the fraudster on February 24.
In the future, fraudulent calls returned, but so far their number has not yet reached the values   of early February.
What does this have to do with it
For example, on April 15, the news showed a lair of fraudsters in Berdyansk who deceived Russians.
You can guess who's behind it.
According to our search engine on the darkweb, the number of ads on the darknet with the mention of Russian banks on the same day is significantly reduced, then their number suddenly increases, and at the moment again fell to zero. ”
How to protect yourself?
Director of the Cybersecurity Department of the Ministry of Digital Development Vladimir Bengin noted that in our country for the first time it was possible to coordinate the efforts of participants in the information security industry at this level.
Regarding the decree of the President of the Russian Federation of May 1, No. 250 “On additional measures to ensure information security of the Russian Federation ”, he noted that Russian software is now under the microscope of hackers and it is extremely important that developers responsibly approach the correction of vulnerabilities.
And if a vulnerability is found that requires urgent correction, you can not remain silent and fear punishment – you need to run and fix it.
“According to this decree, information security is now in the focus of attention of the country ’ s leadership, and the heads of companies that manage the critical infrastructure facility are personally responsible for the consequences that may occur, ” said Vladimir Bengin.
And he added that the management of companies should also be a person responsible for information security – not just for meeting the requirements, but for the absence of incidents.
In this regard, the powers of such people should be expanded.
“It is necessary to ban – but carefully ”: where is the Russian information security market going?
He commented on the case of Sber: “We have a service that can be used by any company if it sees that its resources do not withstand the load: in the first month, at the request of the owner of the resource, we very actively turned off incoming foreign traffic.
We also contact companies, find out if the threat is relevant for it now, and, if possible, lift the ban on foreign traffic.
And that interaction happens all the time. ”
Roman Chaplygin, Director of Business Consulting Development at Positive Technologies, said that companies, and especially banks, are already creating entire anti-crisis response teams to cyber incidents, which may include not only managers, but also ordinary employees with a number of valuable competencies.
“If earlier the topic of cybersecurity at the top management of the financial sector was at the bottom of the list of important things, now the top management is going and delves into the essence of the problem in the moment: anti-crisis committees are being created, it is urgently found out what is being attacked in companies and how it affects the situation, ” he said.
Sergey Lebed drew attention to the fact that the top management of banks began to focus on real threats and launched the process of reassessing real risks – from “paper ” protection to what is really important.
“I would say that now is the time of heroes, ” he concluded.
“But I would still like to see this issue raised before the real difficulties began. ”

Content: Drop everything and sail around the world
In recent years, the global media began to vigorously promote "travel living", translated from English - travel-life.
Its supporters are called digital nomads, or digital nomads.
They are not attached to the place of residence and work and are ready to trade comfort, stability and career prospects for life in continuous motion.
In the US alone, this philosophy is shared by 22 million people, or one in 15 Americans, in the world – 35 million, and by 2030, the number of digital nomads on the planet is projected to grow to one billion people.
Experts believe that this is the way to form a “seamless ” world with a“ connected person ” without roots.

Down with office stress
Video of the day
The first digital nomad was an American writer and programmer.
In 1983, he set off on a computerized bike and completed it on a yacht in 2021.
The revival of the ancient nomadic way of life in the 21st century has become possible thanks to the Internet and IT technologies, and the pandemic of the covid with a remote format of work has spurred it.
By 2030, the number of digital nomads could reach a billion people.
What kind of people are these?
The first group is digital.
Programmers, project managers, graphic designers, journalists, writers, lawyers, translators, analysts, testers, copywriters, video editors, product managers.
Six months in the Maldives, three months in Barbados or the United Arab Emirates, where the world ’ s fastest mobile Internet.
The second is adventurers and wanderers.
The third is mortgages, for which loan payments are more expensive than permanent tourism and being in cheap areas of the world.
The philosophy of digital nomads is to untie themselves from their place of birth and one job.
Choose countries where the best climate, cheaper food, where there are no toxic offices, civil duties, but only the right to live in pleasure.
Digital nomads consider themselves the chosen ones of fate, because, in their opinion, they make the free choice of a free person.
Life in motion, they argue, is not bliss, but the norm.
Their favorite slogan is “The values of minimalism make us happy. ”
Nature, freedom, unprocessed food, physical activity...
A lot is said about this on their profile sites.
Anxiety and desire to change places
Hunting for a change of places is a problem of motives, and they are different, correspondent member, philosopher, chief researcher of the Institute of Sociology of the Russian Academy of Sciences Jean Toshchenko told the “Parliamentary newspaper ”.
Someone just has the opportunity to choose the best conditions of life and work.
Others have the pressure of economic circumstances.
This is facilitated by the growing class of precariat (people working in low-paid and unstable jobs without social guarantees - sick leave, vacation, with a reduced salary).
The transition from permanent to part-time, temporary, part-time employment makes it easier for such people to get out of place and go wherever they look.
Another category is those who, in principle, do not care about the content of the work, says the scientist.
They expect to find something to do everywhere.
From here the ease of lifting.
Finally, there are those who choose a way of life where civil obligations do not prevail over them.
An expert from the United States John Peters in a sensational article “Exile, Nomadism and the Diaspora ” called the opposition of nomad and state as the key idea of the movement.
Many travelers begin with the term “climate emigration ”, but constant mobility erases the boundaries of cultural and national identity.
As a result, the concept of homeland is also being rethought, and this is already marginality, he concludes.
A typical portrait of a digital nomad, according to the Nomad List survey, is a minimalist with a laptop, a backpack, a bachelor ’ s degree, a passport and a cup of coffee.
Lives in one place for an average of 70 days.
At the heart of the mentality is anti-materialism and contentment with small things.
The most attractive side of travel is cheapness, according to one of the profile sites.
Nomadism saves a lot of money because the costs of maintaining the property, maintaining the car, parking, winter clothes disappear.
It is fascinating and good for health.
The main cost item is renting a roof over your head and food.
Geo-arbitrage helps to live better and cheaper – the use of price differences between countries.
Peace in your pocket and nothing of your own
Some researchers call traveling a new socio-economic model.
It echoes the program slogans of the “great reset ” of the world proclaimed at the Davos Economic Forum.
According to it, the preservation of the planet in the interests of future generations requires tightening the belts of the living, limiting economic growth and reducing consumption.
The projected image of the future assumes that a person will be available to the whole world, a lot of services, but at the same time he will not have anything of his own.
Globalizers argue that property and binding to a permanent place of residence burden and encroach on the personal freedoms of citizens.
Why buy a house when you can rent it?
Why a personal car when there is carsharing?
Why save money when you can have a basic guaranteed income?
Why spend money on heating an apartment, if you can go to the warm lands for the winter?
When a person has no stake or yard, it is especially easy.
Modern nomads often call themselves citizens of the world.
The nomad is always online, and it is more convenient for him to communicate even with friends online, rather than offline.
Therefore, some experts have given it the definition of “connected person ”.
The unwritten motto of digital nomads: movement is everything, goal is nothing.
There are 300 people in the world who have visited all 196 countries of the world (including unrecognized territories).
Among them are Australian Rach and Slovak Marty.
The women described the adventures of the 15-year-old circumnavigation in the blog “Very Hungry Nomads ”.
They set out to inspire the women of the world to live without office stress, work on the beach, expand horizons and embrace new thinking.
Travelers sold out all the property and lived with luggage from two backpacks of hand luggage.
The focus of their project was food.
Odyssey cost 274 thousand dollars.
Her conclusion: the most delicious food is in Ethiopia, Afghanistan and Uzbek farmers.
The number of nomadism activists in Russia is also increasing.
For example, ethnologist Mikhail Zarubin traveled to 193 countries for 10 years and wrote a book for children “Tales of Young Travelers ”.
Four years more spent on the circumnavigation of his friend, the photographer.
150 hotels annually - the norm for Lisa and Vitalik, whose journey lasts 12 years.
Many other travel bloggers share their impressions on the website travcave.ru.
Traffic infrastructure
The digital nomad relies on infrastructure.
A digital nomad visa allows individuals who earn an income of at least $2,000 from a foreign jurisdiction to legally stay in the country longer than tourists.
Its price in Brazil is 72 dollars, in Greece - 75, Costa Rica - 100, Argentina - from 120 to 240, in Bermuda - 260, in the Bahamas and in the UAE - a thousand dollars.
Validity from 180 days to 10 years.
In countries where there is no such visa, nomads often live on tourist and even student, and the authorities turn a blind eye to this.
The elements of infrastructure are also coworking and coliving (common spaces where you can live and work with like-minded people).
The number of the first, according to forecasts, by 2025 will reach 26 thousand, and the second annually grows by a third.
In Russia, too, there is a coliving - "Station Smena".
It provides, according to the presentation, a unique opportunity to combine work and party.
Remotely you can work from home, public libraries, cafes - if only there was an Internet and a laptop.
The wealthier ones move around in offices on wheels.
However, the vans at home with a table, a lot of sockets, chargers and a background for conferences are like a luxury German crossover.
The system of hubs for nomads is characterized by a favorable climate, high-speed Internet, an easy visa regime and a low cost of living.
The most attractive locations are Chiang Mai (Thailand) and Bali (Indonesia), in Europe - Lisbon, Gran Canaria and the island of Madeira, in America - Medellin, Mexico City and Buenos Aires.
If the money runs out, nomads can spend the night in churches for free, in extreme cases - in a tent, especially since they do not tend to cold lands.
Someone on occasion earns remote trade, hand-made, bartenders, guides, DJs and VJs, nurses, teachers and what God will send.
As befits a philosopher, Jean Toshchenko is not surprised:
“The world is entering an era of great migration of peoples, similar to the one that took place 15 centuries ago.
The process of global migration is driven by economic, political and climatic factors.
And this general mobility affects all of humanity, making it dynamic. ”
The philosophy of individualism
And if everyone wants to live on an eternal journey, who will remain in their native country and will improve it?
Is there a balance between personal freedom and civic responsibility?
Is not the sense of patriotism atrophied, for example, among the digital class, part of which has amicably rushed outside Russia?
The balance between freedom and responsibility was sought by Voltaire and Belinsky.
They are looking for it and will be looking for it at all times, ” the chairman of the Council for the Development of the Digital Economy evasively replied to the Parliamentary Newspaper.
First Deputy Chairman of the Committee for Tourism and Tourism Development Nikolai Valuev did not hide skepticism from our publication:
“No matter what you dream and want, people will always be tied by a bunch of circumstances to the place of residence.
Work, habit, property, kinship and social ties, so these cosmopolitans will always be in the region of statistical error. ”
Comparing digital nomads, immigrants and relocants is incorrect, said the development director of VTsIOM Consulting.
The concept of “digital-nomadism ” develops a philosophy of individualism, he told“ Parlamentskaya Gazeta ”.
Its values: freedom to choose life goals, ways and places of work, the desire for openness of information, intolerance of discrimination and the conditional “seamless ” of the world.
At the same time, nomads, earning in their country, spend money in a foreign country.
How should this state be treated?
Why in the US with a population of 330 million people, Trump in his election program promises to introduce maternity capital for a new baby boom?
"Any government wants its citizens to work at home and develop the domestic economy," Yermolaev said. - The generation of the first baby boom is close to retirement age, which increases the burden on social infrastructure and reduces the number of able-bodied people.
And the digital nomad community in the US is growing.
According to MBO Partners, there are 16.9 million, and according to Nomand List, 22 million.
If the trend continues, the country ’ s economy will face a serious challenge in the coming years. ”
In Russia, according to Nomad List, digital nomads are still relatively few - 2.3 million.
And yet they should be taken seriously, urges the dean of the Faculty of Economics.
As a rule, nomads do not seek to part with the country, they can continue to work for domestic companies, benefiting the state.
And in order to preserve this human capital, to prevent its possible leakage, an income tax of 13 percent should be saved for this category, the economist believes.
According to the current rules, tax non-residents - people who have been in Russia for less than 183 calendar days for twelve consecutive months - must pay income tax not 13 percent, but 30 percent, besides they are not entitled to tax deductions.
As the head of the State Duma Committee on Labor, Social Policy and Veterans Affairs Yaroslav Nilov told our publication, all the necessary regulation in the field of remote employment was developed and fixed in Chapter 49.1 of the Labor Code even during the coronavirus pandemic.
Thanks to this, many workers today work remotely, most of them within the country.
Any changes to the law will also affect them, he explained.
This is usually used in a situation where there is an imbalance of interests of employers and employees.
“If people continue to perform their duties in accordance with labor contracts, taxes and payments are deducted from their income, then why invent something? ” the deputy concluded.

Remote desktop software, video conferencing tools like Zoom, and project management software like Trello and Asana also facilitate remote work.

In today ’ s rapidly evolving work environment, supporting remote employees has become the key to business success.
The shift to remote and hybrid work highlights the need for effective strategies and tools to ensure remote employees remain engaged, productive and satisfied with their work.
As organizations navigate this new landscape, the right strategies and technologies must be used to address the unique challenges of remote work.
In this blog, we ’ ll explore these strategies in detail and show how Splashtop remote access software can play a key role in supporting remote employees and ensuring they thrive in remote work environments.
1- Regular inspection and communication
Maintaining regular check-ins and effective communication with remote employees is critical to their engagement and productivity.
Organized and frequent check-ins allow managers to deal with any issues in a timely manner and ensure that employees feel supported and connected by the team.
According to a Harvard Business School study, employees who meet regularly with their managers are three times more engaged than those who don ’ t.
These sessions provide opportunities for employees to share progress, discuss challenges and receive feedback that helps them stay on track and feel valued.
Face-to-face communication, even virtual, is much more effective than email or phone calls.
Research shows that video communication is 34 times more efficient than email communication.
In order to ensure the effectiveness of communication, communication should be organized and coherent.
Managers should establish a regular schedule of one-on-one meetings and team inspections.
This consistency helps employees understand when they can discuss their work and get support.
In addition, the establishment of a clear agenda for those meetings would ensure that all the necessary themes were covered and would make the meetings more productive.
2 - Utilization of technology
In the age of remote work, harnessing the right technology is essential to keep remote employees productive, collaborative, and engaged.
With the right tools, remote teams can communicate effectively, manage projects efficiently, and seamlessly access necessary resources.
Essential tools for remote work
Leveraging a set of collaboration tools is critical for remote teams.
Platforms like Slack, Trello, and Zoom have become indispensable tools for facilitating communication, project management, and virtual meetings.
Reliable Remote Access Solution
One of the biggest challenges for remote employees is how to access the same resources as in the office.
This includes important documents, software and systems that are essential to their daily work.
Splashtop offers a powerful remote access solution that allows employees to securely connect to their work computers from anywhere.
This ensures that they have uninterrupted access to all the necessary resources to maintain productivity and efficiency
Security is a major concern for remote working, especially when dealing with sensitive company data.
Splashtop offers robust security features including encrypted connections, multi-factor authentication, and remote session monitoring to ensure remote access is secure and industry standard compliant.
This level of security helps protect company data and employee privacy and reassure all stakeholders.
Continuous improvement and adaptation
As technology evolves, organizations must continually evaluate and adapt their telework tools and strategies.
This includes keeping up to date with the latest features and improvements offered by platforms such as Splashtop, as well as integrating new tools to further improve remote productivity and collaboration.
By remaining adaptable and open to innovation, organizations can ensure that their remote work infrastructure remains robust and effective.
3 - Promotion of health and well-being
Supporting the health and well-being of remote employees is critical to keeping employees productive and engaged.
Working remotely can sometimes lead to a lack of exercise, mental health challenges, and blurred work-life balance.
Here are some strategies to promote the health and well-being of remote employees, with a focus on how Splashtop can make a difference in this regard:
• Encouraging physical activity: Organizations can encourage physical activity by providing health benefits that can be used to pay for things like gym membership cards, fitness classes and home sports equipment.
Supporting mental health: Employers can support mental health by sharing resources such as counseling services, mental health apps, and employee assistance programs (EAP).
Regular check-ups and a supportive work environment where employees can discuss their mental health issues are also essential.
Create an ergonomic home office setup: Allowing or reimbursing for ergonomic office furniture such as adjustable chairs, desks, and proper lighting helps employees create a workspace that reduces physical burden and increases productivity.
Promoting work-life balance: Maintaining a healthy work-life balance is one of the biggest challenges for remote employees.
Flexible working hours and a clear distinction between work and personal time are essential.
• Provide health and wellness programs: A comprehensive health and wellness program can greatly improve the well-being of remote employees.
These programs include health insurance benefits, health challenges, virtual fitness classes and mindfulness classes.
4 - Establish clear expectations and goals
Setting clear expectations and goals is essential for remote employees to understand their responsibilities and stay motivated.
Without face-to-face supervision, remote workers sometimes feel disconnected from the team and unclear what is expected of them.
Managers should ensure that each remote employee understands their roles and responsibilities, as well as the specific tasks that need to be completed.
Regularly discussing work expectations helps prevent misunderstandings and ensure everyone is aligned with the company ’ s goals.
5 - Provide comprehensive technical support
Ensuring remote employees have access to comprehensive support is critical to keeping them productive.
Remote employees rely heavily on technology to perform their duties, and technical issues can seriously affect their productivity.
Providing strong technical support is essential to deal with these issues in a timely manner.
This could include IT support teams, help desk services, and user-friendly remote support solutions such as Splashtop.
With Splashtop, IT teams can remotely access employees ’ devices and troubleshoot them, ensuring technical issues are resolved quickly and efficiently.
IT teams can also use Splashtop to remotely monitor and manage endpoints.
6 - Encourage social interaction
Maintaining social interaction among remote employees is critical to fostering a sense of community, reducing loneliness, and boosting overall morale.
Working remotely can make it challenging to make meaningful connections, but with the right strategies and tools, organizations can effectively encourage social interaction.
Organizing virtual team building activities is a great way to facilitate connections between remote employees.
These activities include online games, virtual happy hours, collaborative projects and team challenges.
Regular team building activities help employees build connections and relationships outside of their work assignments.
Creating opportunities for informal interaction is important for building camaraderie between remote employees.
Virtual coffee time, casual chat channels and informal video calls on platforms like Slack can mimic spontaneous conversations in an office environment.
Encouraging employees to have non-work related conversations helps them understand each other and develop a sense of belonging.
Virtual events and celebrations are a great way to unite remote teams and recognize achievements.
Virtual celebrations of birthdays, work anniversaries, and project milestones help maintain team spirit and show employees that their contributions are valued.
Events such as virtual award ceremonies, talent shows and holiday parties can also add fun and attraction to remote working life.
Conclusion
Supporting remote employees requires an integrated approach that meets their communication needs, utilizes the right technology, promotes their health and well-being, sets clear expectations and goals, provides comprehensive support, and encourages social interaction.
By implementing these strategies, businesses can ensure that their remote teams remain engaged, productive and satisfied.
Splashtop has played a key role in this by providing powerful remote access tools that facilitate seamless and secure access to resources.
With Splashtop, employees can work from anywhere, maintain a healthy work-life balance, and stay connected with colleagues, making it a valuable tool for working remotely.

What are team collaboration apps?

A team collaboration app is a software application that allows for communication and coordination between members at work or a remote team just about anywhere in the world. These apps are often accessed by a mobile device and can also be used to facilitate tasks, projects and conversations among employees.

Essential tools common to these apps include chat messaging, file sharing and task management. They are also commonly used in business settings but can also be utilized by other groups such as non-profit organizations, schools and religious groups. Hybrid teams that move around a lot can also benefit from these apps. Although they have many of the same features, it is not the same as a team management app.

Why should you invest in team collaboration apps for your business

The following are a few of the benefits of collaboration apps and why should invest in them for your business:

  •  Smooth communication: There are many benefits to messaging on collaborative apps over emails. For example, messaging is more instant, casual and relaxed. That’s because you can easily communicate with people on your current or prospective client list without having all those pesky unread messages cluttering up the inboxes of both parties.
  •  Easy access to information: File sharing is the best way to make sure that your team stays productive. It’s also an essential tool for brainstorming and generating new ideas with colleagues who may be hesitant about meeting in person but want access nonetheless.
  • Amp up productivity: Don’t forget that apps for collaboration are also productivity apps. ABy integrating these tools into your work process, you can easily increase efficiency and output.
  • Environmentally friendly: A collaboration app offers the ultimate in communication tools, but they also provide ways to make your office more environmentally friendly. For instance, by communicating and sharing files electronically instead of on paper, you can save trees! Think of all those paper and post-it notes you’ll no longer have when working on digital brainstorming sessions! Also, you don’t have to print out attachments or memos anymore—simply forward the document to your colleague and they can open it up on their device. No waste, no fuss!

As the world rapidly adapts to the digital revolution, we are witnessing the rise of a new type of worker: digital nomads.
Digital nomads are professionals who work remotely using technology, enabling them to travel and live a lifestyle unrelated to location.
This trend of nomadic working life is more than just a fad; it ’ s a sweeping shift in the way we look at work, and it ’ s made possible thanks in large part to advances in technologies such as remote storage and remote desktop software.
Remote desktop storage has become an important tool for digital nomads.
With it, they can access their work computer or office network from anywhere in the world as long as they have an internet connection.
This ability to work remotely not only provides flexibility, but also allows digital nomads to maintain high levels of productivity wherever they are.
Splashtop understands the complexity of this lifestyle and is committed to providing solutions to address the unique challenges faced by digital travelers, such as connectivity issues and secure access to remote resources.
We strive to improve the flexibility provided by this lifestyle, aiming to make the world a seamless workspace.
With the right remote desktop and remote storage tools, the world can indeed be your workplace.
That ’ s the power of technology today – it makes geography irrelevant, it ’ s changing the way we work, travel and live.
Welcome to the digital nomadic world powered by Splashtop ’ s remote desktop solutions.
Defining digital nomads and their challenges
Digital nomadism is the practice of doing work by relying on digital technology, often for remote work from abroad.
This lifestyle offers enticing benefits such as flexibility, freedom and the charm of travel.
However, this is not without challenges.
The key is connectivity issues due to different global internet stability and maintaining productivity in different time zones and environments.
The right tools, including reliable remote desktop software, can help address these challenges and make digital nomadic a rewarding and efficient way to work.
Remote Desktop: Solutions for Digital Travellers
Remote desktop software bridges the connection between your device and computer by using the Internet as a medium.
This process involves using two applications, even the "client" application on the portable device and the "proxy" application installed on the desktop.
This duo enables you to establish a remote desktop connection that effectively lets you control and interact with your desktop, regardless of time and place, as if you were immersive.
Basically, you can control your primary computer, access files, use apps, and even perform complex tasks from a remote location, all as if you were sitting in front of your computer.
Digital nomads can leverage remote desktop technology to dramatically increase their productivity.
For example, let ’ s say you ’ re a digital hobbyist who often uses specialized software installed on your home computer.
With remote desktop storage, you can use your laptop or even tablet to run this software from anywhere in the world without having to carry your home computer with you.
Alternatively, you may be a software developer or graphic designer (and also a digital nomad!) and you may need access to a powerful home desktop for coding or testing.
By using remote desktop software, you can take advantage of the processing power of your home computer to run intensive applications smoothly while traveling from a portable laptop or even tablet.
As a digital hobbyist, you may be worried that the main computer in your home is going into sleep mode, which may interrupt your remote storage.
This can interfere with your workflow, especially if you are in a different time zone or location.
However, with Splashtop, this concern is a thing of the past. Splashtop offers a “Wake Up Computer ” feature specifically designed to wake your remote computer from its sleep state.
This feature ensures that you can always connect to your computer, no matter where you are in the world, providing an uninterrupted, reliable remote storage experience.
Remote desktop tools also provide secure access to your files without the need to sync or transfer them across devices, reducing the risk of data loss or theft.
This technology is also beneficial when digital nomads need to collaborate with team members in real time, as they can remotely access a colleague ’ s computer to get help or perform a task.
One of the major benefits that remote desktop storage brings to digital travelers is the ability to overcome the unpredictability of travel.
Whether it ’ s an unforeseen situation that causes a hardware failure, or simply an inability to access a specific document, a remote desktop solution can provide the necessary buffers to keep your workflow running smoothly.
One such solution is Splashtop, which is designed to provide secure and reliable remote storage. With a user-friendly interface and strong connectivity, Splashtop supports a seamless remote work experience.
It is an effective tool for connecting to your main computer from any other device (laptop, tablet or even smartphone).
Its cross-platform features allow you to work across operating systems without compatibility issues.
All of this doesn ’ t require a lot of technical setup. All you need is an internet connection.
With Splashtop or similar tools, the world truly becomes a workspace for digital hobbyists, making geography a consideration of the past.
Tips for Using Remote Desktop Storage Effectively
Choosing the right remote desktop tool is critical to getting the benefits of this technology.
When choosing a tool, consider factors such as ease of use, reliability, speed, and security features.
Compatibility with different operating systems and devices is also an important factor, especially for digital nomads who may use various devices.
Ensuring safe and smooth remote storage is just as important.
Find tools that provide robust security measures such as two-factor authentication and data encryption.
A reliable internet connection also plays a vital role in ensuring smooth access.
It is recommended to use backup connection options in case of network instability, such as portable Wi-Fi or mobile hotspots.
With Splashtop ’ s adaptive streaming technology, you can still experience high-performance remote storage even on less than perfect internet connections, ensuring a seamless digital nomadic experience.

Russian digital nomads can manage their tax obligations through the "Gosuslugi" platform, and are taxed at a uniform rate of 13-15% regardless of tax residency.

For employees who left Russia, the personal income tax rate was set at 13-15%
The Ministry of Finance of the Russian Federation introduced a single rate of personal income tax for those who left
The personal income tax rate for employees working remotely under employment contracts or civil law contracts will be uniform.
The Ministry of Finance set it at the level of 13-15%, regardless of tax residency.
This was stated by Deputy Minister of Finance Alexei Sazanov, reports “Rossiyskaya Gazeta ”.
A flat rate was introduced to avoid the outflow of employees.
Earlier in Russia, a discussion broke out around the personal income tax rate for remote workers working from abroad.
Should the rate be as for Russian residents - 13% or 15%, or as for non-residents - 30%.

What are critical aspects of the digital nomad lifestyle?

What income tax rate for remote workers outside of Russia did President Putin sign into law?

The tax rate applies to Russian company employees working abroad, and foreign companies must register as tax agents for Russian employees or have them file and pay taxes independently.

Title:

2: 18
The personal income tax (PIT) applied to workers employed abroad has changed significantly.
The President of Russia, Vladimir Putin, signed the relevant law, published on the official portal of legal information, as reported by “Uralinformburo ”.
The new law establishes uniform personal income tax rates for Russian workers engaged in labor activities outside the country.
Now the rate of personal income tax depends on the annual income of the employee and is 13% or 15%.
• 13% rate applies if the annual income of the employee does not exceed 5 million rubles.
• 15% rate is valid if the annual income exceeds the mark of 5 million rubles.
If a Russian tax resident provides services to a foreign company, the latter must become a tax agent and register with the tax authority.
In this case, the foreign company is obliged to pay personal income tax for its employee at the established rate of 13% or 15%.
Such changes are aimed at improving the control over the payment of taxes and preventing the departure of income abroad.
In the event that a foreign company is not a tax agent or does not pay personal income tax for its Russian employee, the taxpayer is obliged to pay the tax independently.
This is done by filing a tax return on time.
It is important to note that with the new changes, remote workers can no longer expect to be compensated for the costs associated with performing their work duties remotely.
Thus, it is necessary to plan a personal budget more carefully, taking into account the possible costs associated with working abroad.
The new NDFL rules will enter into force in stages:
• From 2024, they will be valid for full-time employees of Russian companies that work abroad.
• Since 2025, the changes will also affect freelancers performing work for Russian companies from outside the country.

People working for Russian companies from abroad must pay taxes in Russia - Ministry of Finance
The Ministry of Finance of Russia has prepared a number of amendments to the tax, customs and budget legislation.
The Ministry said that the changes are aimed at “improving the efficiency of the tax system. ”
In particular, the amendments may affect citizens working for Russian companies from abroad.
The Ministry of Finance believes that taxes on their salaries and other remuneration should be paid in Russia.
"Remuneration paid by domestic employers to remote workers located outside the country relates to income from Russian sources," the Finance Ministry said in a statement.
Also, the Agency proposes to exempt from taxes compensation that employers pay their remote workers for the use of their own or rented equipment, software and other means "for the performance of labor functions."
