Depends on your job. I guess you mean to work and receive foreign currency rather than to actually work for the state right? Are you African? Okay if you are you can work online. Offer online tutoring, become a youtuber, offer translating services or editing services on up work.. depends on your skill set, or join the tourism industry. Rent a big place, furnish it and put it on Airbnb and host tourist? Look into online jobs, building websites, programming, virtual secretary work. Education is important for all these things. Good luck. Choose something you are good at and find a way to make money from it via the internet. Get creative. It is possible but you have to be creative.
No, you cannot legally work remotely in the United States while physically located in Nigeria without proper work authorization. In general, working remotely for a US-based company while residing outside the United States is subject to the same legal requirements as physically working in the United States.
If you are not a US citizen or a lawful permanent resident of the United States, you would typically need to obtain a work visa or work authorization from the US government to legally work remotely for a US-based company. Without such authorization, you would be violating US immigration laws and could face serious consequences, including deportation, fines, and future difficulties in obtaining US visas.
It’s important to note that remote work arrangements have become more common in recent years, particularly due to the COVID-19 pandemic, but the legal requirements for remote work still apply. If you are interested in working remotely for a US-based company while residing in Nigeria, you should consult with an experienced immigration attorney to explore your options for obtaining the necessary work authorization.
There are plenty of companies offer opportunities for remote work, some with certain constraints, such as location, country, language, etc. But it is a trend that more and more companies allow the work from home.
I found this list, not every companies are great company, but some of them are really big name, such as IBM, Amazon, etc.
