United States
North America
The US has no digital nomad visa and no legal remote-work status at all, the substantial presence test pulls you into tax residency automatically, and compensation becomes US-source the moment work is physically performed on US soil. Citizenship or a green card means worldwide taxation for life, with a covered-expatriate exit tax waiting if you ever renounce or surrender it.
