      Work for their foreign clients with foreign companies. Remote work. While they were backpacking.

        Still Tax fraud and visa fraud. Works like this in most countries.

        Not that I agree with these extreme measures. Most of Europe doesn’t care but still: as ilegal in the US as it would be if an American tourist did the same in Germany.

          Like if I work for Intel and I’m on travel visa, I can’t answer some emails or do a zoom meet with my team for updates or something?

        I don’t know but that’s what the post you were replying to stated and you just ignored it.

          I do tend to ignore posts that come without references or explanations, that’s true.
          But that’s beside the point I was raising - I’ll rephrase: I find it hard to believe that there is anything two Middle European kids vacationing in Hawaii could ever do to even remotely approach any sane definition of ‘working without a permit’ to warrant immediate deportation. Whether they did or didn’t actually intend to defraud the Federal Government over 20$ in beach bar tip money taxes doesn’t really factor into that argument, does it?

        They’re teenagers. Probably they’re secretly doing a bit of brain surgery on the side to get walking-around money during their backpacking trip.
