Q: Can I work remotely from home office (in another country) on a TN Visa? If so, how long?
I am a Mexican working in the US on a TN Visa. I would like to work remotely while covid quarantine... Nothing will change, still the same company and position, but I want to know If I am allowed to work from Mexico (another country) for a couple of months... and If it is allowed, how long can I do that?
A:
The TN status allows you to render the services on behalf of the petitioning employer as stated in the TN visa application or TN petition while you are in the U.S.
You can return to the home country and render the services remotely from that location.
You should discuss this matter with your employer.
Good luck to you.
A: I agree with the former answer. If you can work remotely, it should't affect your TN status for the period it is valid. I would only add that might need to consult tax professionals in both countries and in TN.
