It's definitely possible, and I'm fairly certain that I saw a few people doing it during my time in NYC. All of the previous tips that were given are great, but I can add to the parking situation a bit. If you have a full-time job with a typical schedule, parking can be tough as everyone else is looking to park around the same time that you do. However, because you're in a van an are mobile, you can literally park anywhere and not have to worry about the trip back to your apartment. From a street sweeping perspective, Washington Heights in Manhattan is great as it only occurs 1x/week. I am unsure about the other boroughs, but I know there is tons of parking in Brooklyn by comparison. In general, you could easily do this in NYC, as you could spend most of your daytime hours at work or in a coffee shop, and only really use the van for sleep. Free street parking in most places throughout the city is also a  huge advantage for doing something like this, and as long as you move your van every once in awhile (you have to anyway), no one would likely ever catch on.

You are required to complete a Form W-8BEN if you are a non-resident alien and earned Royalty income (in this case) from a US-based source.The purpose of the form is to alert the IRS to the fact you are earning income from the US, even though you are not a citizen or a resident of the US. The US is entitled to tax revenues from your US-based earnings and would, without the form, have no way of knowing about you or your income.To ensure they receive their “fair” share, they require the payor to withhold 30% of the payment due to you, before issuing a check for the remainder to you. If they don’t withhold and/don’t report the payment to you, they may not be able to deduct the payment as an expense, and are subject to penalties for failing to withhold - not to mention forced to pay the 30% amount over and above what they pay to you. They therefore will not release any payment without receiving the Form W-8BEN.Now, Nepal happens not to have a tax treaty with the US. If it did and you were subject to Nepalese taxes on that income, you could claim a credit for the taxes paid to another country, up to the entire amount of the tax. Even still, you are entitled to file a US Form 1040N, as the withholding is charged on the gross proceeds and there may be expenses that can be deducted from that amount before arriving at the actual tax due. In that way, you may be entitled to a refund of some or all of the backup withholding.That is another reason why you file the form - it allows you to file a return in order to apply for a refund.In order to complete the form, you can go to the IRS website to read the instructions, or simply go here: https://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/...
