You're almost universally not allowed to take local work.

But many (the vast majority in my personal experience which tends not to extend to countries with a lot of paperwork requirements) either explicitly allow business purposes like conferences and meeting with customers or don't care.

If you decide to remote work from someplace for a month or two, I might not get a co-working space or blog about it, but in most cases no one cares.

Businesses purposes usually has a strict definition that doesn't extend to operating a business from said country for extended periods of time. Nevermind the tax implications.

Other countries are far more explicit in law that any paid (or unpaid) remuneration is a visa violation. Thailand for example.

> don't care

That's the key phrase here. Personally I don't care that authorities don't enforce their immigration laws but it should be explicitly stated that you are violating your visa on sites such as this and Nomadlist.
