Sorry to burst your bubble, but you are probably in violation of the tax laws of a number of countries.

I cannot reference specific US tax law, but I can reference Canadian tax law, and many other countries follow this approach which is based on common law. The U.S. is generally unique when it comes to taxation.

See: http://www.cra-arc.gc.ca/tx/nnrsdnts/bsnss/bs-rs-eng.html

"Common law has generally established that a company is resident in the country in which its central management and control is exercised. British courts have rejected the place of incorporation as the one test of residence of a company because this is only a circumstance like the birth of an individual. Other factors such as the place where the principal business is done, books and records are located, the company seal is kept, bank accounts are maintained, and where the directors reside have been considered by British courts as useful, but not conclusive."

To translate the above: If you are operating your business via the internet from another country, even if most of your customers are in the US/Canada/UK, you may be taxable in the country in which you are physically working from. It depends on the laws of whatever country you are in. Assuming you also don't have work visas for the countries you are in, that means that you are also potentially violating visa laws.

Source: I am a Canadian CPA/CA. I have worked in international transfer pricing. You don't have to believe me. Just read the CRA website I linked above.

I wouldn't go through the trouble of getting another passport just for that. People don't hate Americans like you might think. As a Canadian, I often get mistaken for an American (due to the similar accent). I really don't mind either, however I do make the correction so I don't get comments on American politics. People never seem to change their opinion of me when they find out.

The secret to getting good treatment while traveling abroad is this: Don't be a dick.
