WORKING IN A FOREIGN COUNTRY

Travel to different countries to work is a new type of worker in today's global business, being that more and more people in their jobs have travel to take charge of another branch of the enterprise in other place. Maybe this new modality represents expenses for the company and for the employee who can not have a stable life by having to travel from one place to another. But in terms of productivity, it is more productive than hire a person abroad.

Some employees travel to different countries to work on projects. They are in a country until a project ends and then they return home. But go to another city is more than just having a passport, is adapted. You can find various inconveniences such as: language, currency, customs, religion, culture, among others.

The traveller should know and master all the elements mentioned above to maintain a harmonious stay. The projected image abroad is not only the letter of introduction of the employee, but also the business. If you project a wrong image, you will receive the same catalogued business which is not good for your market in the foreign country.

It is interesting for employees to meet different nationalities, and it is also good for business to have contacts in different countries around the world. But this have a disadvantages for the Government whose does not know exactly where workers should pay taxes.
