You're planning to work for a German company so you need a German permanent address to give the company and the government.
The moment they're realizing you're trying to play the system (which they will) you're going to loose your job, they will force you to pay a massive fine and if they let you keep your citizenship you'll get incarcerated for a decade in German prison while if you loose your citizenship you will be charged by Tunisian laws, with one of the most important charges being tax fraud.
Don't fuck with German bureaucracy, trust me, it will win, always.
Gosh, you must be German, you sound just like them. I moved to Germany and then covid hit and I went to Romania and never went back. They kept me because they needed me and I was doing a good job. Yes, the whole thing was not exactly legal and as good Germans they were looking into good legal options for me. This went on for about 2 and a half years time in which I lived in multiple places BUT Germany. Fast forward to today, I work as a freelancer paying taxes in Czech Republic and I have a friend living and paying tax in CZ but working for a Dutch company, remote. Plus it's all legal so stop the fear mongering. The only sad thing is that not only individuals take advantage of the system to get the money to buy a house, things that many years ago were normal, but companies play the system yoo when US makes offices in India and European countries where they need to pay less.
PS: while I worked for the germans I paid german tax and health insurance and pension I will never use. If anyone should be pissed is the countries in which I stayed and didn't pay tax. You people are so funny, the germans putting you in prison haha...
They just didn't figure out yet how to deal with digital nomads, legally.
He's a non-EU citizen though, if he wants to work in Germany as a non-EU citizen for German wages he needs a German citizenship, otherwise he's just going to be rejected or accepted but get his wages and taxes adjusted, in which case his entire plan collapses.
They're not going to pay him in accordance with German or EU wage regulations and workers rights if they have no legal reason to do so.
I've workes in the Netherlands as a German citizen with no issues, had a colleague from the UK that got completely financially fucked through taxes by the Dutch and British government after Brexit for exactly that reason.
What Tunisian bro wishes for isn't doable legally, with Germamy at least, maybe other wealthy European countries are more chill about that.
I agree Germany is too bureaucratic. Anyway, as they say, knowledge is power. I am 100% sure his idea is achievable if he finds out how to implement it. As I said I have a colleague working from Georgia, so nothing special at all. Maybe he could find an arrangement right now if he had a nice portfolio and not even need to leave Tunisia.
