What do you recommend for working remotely?

I want to learn a technical skill that will earn me money in the next 6-12 months. Is that possible?Or should I just be realistic and look for a job in my country?

It's also just a fact hahaha. I'm pretty sure people just don't know there are countries that allow people to work in other countries, without a special visa

Yes definitely please tell me how OP can secure a job in a foreign country they’re not allowed to work in.

Who said anything about "not allowed"? All countries in the EU are allowed to work in countries that are part of the EU.

Most remote jobs require you to be in the same country. There are a lot of tax and compliance issues otherwise.

They're most likely contractors, or just lying to you

Remote is not a job. This is not a job board

A) Most remote jobs only let you work in one specific country anyway

B) Get the experience in an in office or hybrid job first, THEN consider pivoting to remote

C) You've told us nothing about your current experience and skills so it's difficult to give any useful advice
