Resources for working across borders

Getting hired by a company in another country

A foreign company can employ you in one of three ways: through its own entity in your country, through an employer of record that hires you locally on its behalf, or as a contractor invoicing them. The employer of record route is the most common for remote roles open to several countries, and Deel is the largest provider. Deel handles the local contract, payroll, taxes and benefits, and the employer pays them. Partner link.

Getting paid in another currency

If you are paid as a contractor, a multi-currency account with local account details in USD, EUR and GBP avoids the bank's conversion spread on every payment. Wise is the best known option: it converts at the mid-market rate for a fee shown before you confirm, and you can receive in one currency and hold or spend in another. Partner link.

Health insurance that moves with you

Employer of record hires usually get local benefits. Contractors and people between countries look at insurance built for that case, such as SafetyWing's nomad plans, which cover you in most countries and can be started from abroad. We have no partnership with SafetyWing.

Finding the job in the first place

Start from the country you can work in, then narrow by field. A remote job labelled "Anywhere" is one where the employer states it hires worldwide. One labelled with a country name is open to residents of that country only.
