Daida Hadzic：疫情推动了数字游牧签证的出现，但各国法律框架不完善，税收、社会保障等问题复杂，导致签证申请难度大，实际申请数量远低于预期。不同国家对数字游牧签证的要求差异巨大，例如希腊要求高月收入，意大利要求有数字游牧经验。阿根廷的数字游牧签证申请数量和经济影响在2021年和2022年之间增长显著，与欧洲的情况形成对比。各国利用技术手段监控数字游牧者的合规性，包括税收和社会保障等方面，公司即使员工离职后也可能面临来自当地政府的询问。公司应该主动调查员工对远程工作的意愿和偏好，而不是仅仅关注市场标准和竞争对手的做法，采取一刀切的政策并不理想。西班牙的数字游牧签证允许多次延期，并可作为获得永久居留权的途径。数字游牧者应该对雇主坦诚自己的工作地点，诚实是最佳策略。 David Livet：一家加州科技公司在不知情的情况下，有三位员工在中国工作，面临巨额罚款和声誉损害。公司因员工未申报的海外工作而面临巨额罚款，这包括税款、注册费、许可证费用以及声誉损失，金额可能高达数万美元。 Callum Borchers：疫情后的宽松期已结束，各国加强了对远程工作的监管力度，对员工和雇主都造成了负面影响。企业对数字游牧员工的容忍度降低，许多公司开始要求员工回办公室或转为独立承包商，以避免税务和合规风险。美国自称数字游牧者的数量增长缓慢，这表明远程工作的监管和企业政策变化对人们的生活方式选择产生了影响。一些数字游牧者最终厌倦了这种生活方式，这表明这种生活方式并非总是那么理想化。数字游牧者应该聘请一位合格的会计师，以处理复杂的税务问题。 Doug Lake：公司可能因为需要在员工工作的所有州申报公司税而抵制远程工作，这尤其会影响小型公司。
