Want to Work Abroad Without Going Freelance? Here’s How.
When people dream about working remotely from another country, the first thought often is: “I’ll need to quit my job and start freelancing.” It makes sensemany digital nomads are freelancers. But here’s the truth: if you love your current job and employer, you don’t necessarily have to leave it behind.
There’s another option that allows you to keep your steady job, paycheck, and benefits, while working from a different country: Employer of Record (EOR).
Going Remote Does Not Mean Going Freelance
The idea that you must freelance to work abroad is outdated. Sure, freelancers have flexibility, but they also face uncertainty: finding clients, managing invoices, and navigating foreign tax systems on their own. Not everyone wants that hustle.
If you already work for a company you enjoy, leaving to freelance just to move abroad can feel like a huge risk.
The Reality: EOR Makes It Possible to Stay Employed
An Employer of Record takes care of the legal and HR side of international employment. Instead of your company setting up an entity in your new country (a process that can take months and cost a fortune), the EOR becomes your official employer locally.
This means:
- You remain part of your original company’s team.
- You keep the security of an employment contract.
- Payroll, taxes, and compliance are handled correctly.
- Your employer avoids legal risk while you enjoy working abroad.
It’s a win-win: you get to live and work where you want, and your company keeps a happy, loyal employee.
Who Is This For?
- Employees who don’t want to give up their career path just because they want to work from another country.
- Employers who want to support talent in pursuing an international lifestyle without losing them.
Whether it’s a year in Spain, a move to Portugal, or a relocation to Italy, EOR can make it happen.
