Company A could simply incorporate a subsidiary in another country, then said subsidiary could hire workers to work for company A's whilst residing in company A's country. No work permit required.
What you've seen in response to this type of thing, at least in Thailand, is that it's harder to stay in the country for a long period of time even legitimately.
Visa lengths across land borders are being cut. Back-to-back visas are now limited. X months in X months out rules are being adopted. It's getting very difficult to stay in the country for longer than 6 months.
It's actually not impossible to get a work permit in Thailand but it is expensive (cheaper if you are an American or married to a Thai citizen). Most people just take the risk.
" Examples of activities for which a person would not normally be remunerated or which would not compete directly with Canadian citizens or Permanent Residents in the Canadian labour market and which would normally be part-time or incidental to the reason that the person is in Canada include, but are not limited to:
long distance (by telephone or internet) work done by a temporary resident whose employer is outside Canada and who is remunerated from outside Canada;"
Canada for example says right on their immigration website that if you are working for a company not based in Canada and are paid from outside of Canada then there is no problem.
Thailand, and most of South East Asia frankly, have laws on the books that say any work, including volunteer work, is work and is forbidden. Thailand has however stated some years ago that 'Digital Nomads' aren't their concern, just illegal workers. There have been arrests in shared work spaces but people were released after. Definitely a grey area.
Singapore's another example but you can count on them to enforce the law to the letter.
That's an uncomfortable truth you don't see people talking about on the remote job boards.
You don't read about many issues because nobody is going to know that a guy on his laptop is working and not uploading holiday snaps to Facebook. I'd personally avoid coding camps, shared workspaces and collaborating in person if I was going to skirt the law and do it anyway.
There's still no great solution for Flash if you have to support that. I did a lot of research on this previously.
Take a look at this video and tell me this query and the required data denormalization is acceptable.
Median salary for software engineers are a measly SGD$48,953 (34,360 USD). Average rents being SGD$1,971 for a one bedroom.
There a few fake articles that say it's cancelled already.
I've also read that DV visa holders from the 7 countries that are mentioned in last week's executive order will not be able to enter the United States.
It's funny because the L1 visa brings in far more people than the H1B because it has no cap.
ClojureScript (via Closure) can advance compile them to 32K

This only worked because he wrote a program which didn't need every feature of react's library. YMMV.
Not like they made it easy before but still we can expect similar responses to the proposed 20% border tax with Mexico.
Edit Some people seem to think US citizens cannot visit Iran. From the horse's mouth:
I think the positives outweigh the negatives. It's nice to replace a lot of moving pieces in a RoR application with just Elixir and Phoenix.
Doesn't bode well for the stability of the business.
We need a payment system which isn't Visa/Mastercard and preferably not US based.
Honestly, China Union Pay might just say yes to the business that those decline. If only they break into the international markets better...

I'm not ok with secret tribunals that make those decisions. [1]
I'm not ok with governments not making provisions for the workers that lost their jobs because Vietnamese shrimp flooded their country's market. [2]
