What makes you say that? Admittedly most of my backpacking-like travel days are long behind me, but border crossings typically aren't that difficult or expensive. EU is probably the hardest (almost certainly needed the visas before you arrived). Most of SE Asia and Africa you'd just hand over a few USD at the border, get a stamp, and keep moving.

Probably depends a lot on your citizenship. As an American it’s easy to get at least a 3-6 month visa basically anywhere except for embargo nations; many other countries that have visa holiday systems make 6 month stays pretty easy too. not so for my Indian friends for instance.

It does, German passport rate apparently under the most visa friendly ones. Not that I will ever have the luxury to actually try that... Never say never, I hope!

Sure, for a visit or for business meetings.

I as a UK citizen can temporarily visit the US, or Japan, or Thailand on holiday.

I could also go to meet my colleagues there, go and sell something, go and buy something, go to a convention, etc. That's counted as "doing business"

I can't work there though, unless I have an appropriate visa. Doesn't matter if I'm working remotely for a remote company that doesn't even have a presence in the country, it is still doing work.
