Individuals travelling to the UK can work remotely

The United Kingdom has given visitors access to remote work. Individuals traveling to the UK can work remotely, and researchers can conduct research without a digital visa. The research can be self-contained or directly related to their employment overseas.

Faegre Drinker Biddle & Reath LLP, a law firm, said, “The primary purpose of visitors must be that of a vacation, meeting with family members, business meetings, attending a conference, or engaging in non-work-related activities.”

 

Regulations regarding remote work

• Visitors can work in the UK without a digital visa. Visitors are restricted from engaging with the local market, working for organizations in the UK, or directly providing goods and services to the public.
• These rules prevent individuals from entering the UK to work remotely, marking a notable difference with the 'digital nomad' visas available in other nations like Cyprus, Portugal, Greece, Spain, and many others.
• Remote work allows individuals to perform tasks like checking emails, joining virtual meetings, taking phone calls, and fulfilling any other job responsibilities that can be done using telecommunications.
