Remote jobs for people from Africa, Asia and other regions, wherever you live

What this is

Work-from-home jobs for people from Africa, Asia, Latin America, the Caribbean, the Middle East, Eastern Europe, Central Asia and the Pacific islands, whether they live at home or abroad. The job board covers every country in those regions that the World Bank counts as low or middle income (see the full list). Nearly all the employers are overseas. What the roles share is that each will employ or contract a person living where you are, and some specifically want your home-country language or knowledge.

Medium skill means open to someone with a secondary-school certificate, a diploma or a general degree: administration, personal assistance, customer service, sales support, bookkeeping, HR admin, translation, transcription, design. Specialist means a specific technical or professional discipline.

Work types: Contract / freelance (66), Employment (186), Internship / fellowship (5).

AI data work

AI training, data labelling, rating and transcription work is listed on its own page (44 open now), not in the main count. It’s task-based gig work: pay and hours aren’t guaranteed, and projects can end without notice. We check it the same way as every other job.

The point is that it is checked

We check every job on the employer’s own website before adding it to this board. That helps you avoid listings marked “remote” that actually require office visits. We check two things before a job appears here: that a resident of the country is eligible, and that the work is genuinely done from home. Both are quoted from the posting so you can judge them yourself. Every role shows the date it was last checked, and the job board is re-checked every week.

Evidence tiers

• Country named by employer (tier 1): the posting names the country in a published list of countries it hires in. Strongest.
• Job posted for this country (tier 3): the posting's own location is that country.
• Employer says it hires worldwide (tier 2): the posting says it hires anywhere, with no restriction. Strong, but no country is named, so ask early whether they can pay you where you live.

“Not published” means the employer did not state it. Nothing is guessed. Where an employer limits a role to citizens or permanent residents of a country, that limit is shown.

If you live outside your home country

This job board is for people from Africa, Asia, Latin America, the Caribbean, the Middle East, Eastern Europe, Central Asia and the Pacific islands, wherever they live. Remote employers decide by where you live and your right to work there, not by your passport — so pick the country you actually live in.

• Working from home still counts as working where you are. A remote job for an overseas employer is work in the country you live in, and your residence permit has to allow it.
• Student visas often cap working hours during term, restrict the kind of work, or bar it outright. Check before you accept anything.
• Visitor and tourist visas almost never allow work of any kind, including remote work for a company back home or abroad.
• Dependant, spouse and family visas vary a lot — some allow any work, some none.
• Asylum seekers are often not allowed to work until they are granted permission or status.
• Employers will check. Many roles ask you to confirm you are authorised to work where you live, without sponsorship; where a role says this, it is shown in red. Never misstate where you live to get a role — it can cost you the job and your immigration status.
• Tax follows where you live. Usually you owe tax where you are resident, whatever country the employer or your bank is in.

Rules differ by country and change often. Check the government immigration website of the country you live in, or ask a licensed immigration adviser. This is not legal advice.

Things that catch people out

• Getting paid. Some countries' PayPal accounts can't receive money. Check how the employer pays before you apply. Payoneer, Wise, Airtm or bank transfer often work where PayPal doesn't. Country pages list what's known.
• Hours. Some roles require fixed US working hours, which may mean evening or overnight depending on where you live. Use the hours filter.
• Sanctions. Employers and payment platforms based in the US generally cannot hire or pay people in comprehensively sanctioned countries. “Worldwide” roles are not shown for those countries unless an employer names them.
• Costs you carry. Some employers expect you to already own a laptop and a fast connection, and freelance work leaves you handling your own tax and insurance. None of it should ever mean paying the employer.
