🇬🇧 United Kingdom · Digital Nomad Visa
Remote-work visa programs, income requirements, duration, taxes, and application steps.
The UK does not have a dedicated digital nomad visa. Under the Standard Visitor rules, some remote working for an overseas employer is permitted incidentally during a visit, but remote work cannot be the primary purpose of the trip, and a visit does not allow you to base yourself in the UK to work. Longer-term remote/working stays need an appropriate visa.

- A visit does not let you base yourself in the UK to work.
