Just checking if you can do that legally if you set up a company... what you need exactly.

The E1/E2 visas are available to people from particular treaty countries for this purpose. But they require that you do substantial international trade or invest a couple of hundred k in a business.

might be easier to keep your foreign residence and consider that as a base, and go back as often as required to stay legal

I think if you stay longer than 6 months you will need a visa of some sort

and there is the real possibility that you will be denied entry in the first place if you are intending to stay for such a long time anyways

You can't work unless you have work authorization (with or without an SSN)
You need a TN, E1, or skilled visa.. or a green card. There's no special exceptions really to any of it and it can take years to get the visa.

Why would one do such thing? Do you have Somali tribal warriors trying to capture you, ex KGB spies trying to poison you?

Seek asylum in the US or the UK.

So I guess the way to do it is to stay less than 6 months for "personal stuff" and pretend you do not work at all during that time period.

Just checking the options.
