Shoutout to all the Spaniards who thought "hacer la Cobra" [0] had gone international.

I was hoping it'd be Pagafantas.


In many countries you can issue invoices without having a company or being a freelancer up to a certain amount. That should be everything Paddle needs.

Also, once upon a time, I checked with FastSpring (another alternative) if they could just withhold payouts until incorporation and they told me they can do that.

The price of Coke is influenced by logistics but ultimately it's determined by the market (supply and demand), exactly the same as your work, that's capitalism.

What's the market in this context is of course the interesting question.


The market for Coca-Cola is very different from that of software programming labour: Soda pop can only be consumed where it is actually located, so is affected by, as you pointed out, logistics and (local!) supply and demand.

Remote programming work, on the other hand, is the opposite: At least the demand side is, as this whole discussion exemplifies, global -- Gitlab isn't local to all the locations where their remote employees live. (If it were, they wouldn't be remote.)

But then the employees' supply of labour isn't local either: They're offering their labour to Gitlab, a non-local employer (and potentially to other non-local employers too).

It's utterly baffling how much of this discussion seems to be assuming that Gitlab (or other remote employers) play on a global market, but their employees on a local one. If that were the case, how could any of those employees ever be employed by any of these employers? The very fact that any transactions -- i.e. employment contracts -- ever arise shows that both parties are playing on the same market.

As someone who tried UK, opening a bank account not being a UK resident and without proof of existing UK customers was extremely challenging.


That is interesting! Which bank did you end up with finally and how did you convince them? Couldn’t you use something like Wise in the beginning?


At the end I ended up reincorporating in my country of residence. Which was a pity. But in the UK everything was extremely easy until it wasn't, I got spooked by that and preferred not to take further risks.
