   **Working remotely while on a month travel**

   Hello,

   Apologies if this is not the correct place to ask. I have read the FAQs regarding this, but wanted some more details.

   I am planning on traveling to Japan from Canada for about a month. For 2 weeks I will be looking to work (7.5 hours per day) remotely at my current company back in Canada.

   As this appears to be a violation of the Japanese taxation laws, do I need to apply for something so that I can work for the few weeks or do I just have to file something during tax season back in Canada? I assume being paid on a salary compared to a hourly basis would not matter, I would just have to calculate the amount I earned while I was here.

   Thank you,

2. It’s violating immigration law, not tax law. If you’re caught, you’re going home and probably not going to be allowed back again.
