What work is allowed?
Incidental remote activity is allowed under visitor rules. This is not a general permission to relocate for remote work. [1]
Where do I start?
Read the visitor permitted activities and caseworker guidance. Research a work visa separately for a move whose purpose is employment.
A source linked summary is available. A detailed application checklist has not yet been reviewed.
Keep this in mind.
Do not present a visitor route as a digital nomad residence visa. Long stays and repeated visits require careful assessment.
