I don’t understand your last point so this applies generally to employees working abroad:
Many companies use geofencing on their VPN to reduce brute force attacks. If a single employee works from country X they have to put that country on the allow list, increasing spam and attack surface.
There is also the major concern of security of the laptop itself. Police/border control might force you to unlock the laptop. You are basically adding nation state industrial espionage to the threat model. It could also just get stolen. Or you connect to insecure network infrastructure …
All this is a concern in your home country as well but most companies are aware of the risks in their own country and want to avoid adding the (unknown) risks of a second country.

Besides that, there are tax implications at least for the States.
