Start here

Remote income does not itself create permission to live or work in the UK. This journal separates a genuine visit from relocation, maps the real routes and makes the employer, tax and evidence questions visible before a booking becomes a commitment.

Choose the stage closest to your situation. Use the recommended guide and its working document to record the next task, evidence owner and date to recheck. The guide library and free resource library remain available throughout your preparation.

Start with your current task

• Visit planning. Describe the permitted purpose, actual itinerary and any incidental overseas-employment activity. A visitor plan is assessed as a whole.
• Route comparison. Compare actual eligibility for a work or other appropriate residence route. Remote income alone does not create permission.
• Travel and work preparation. Bring the actual grant, work conditions, employer plan and travel documents into one final review.

When a different route becomes relevant

Keep this publication focused on the question you came to solve. If your actual plans raise a separate route question, these specialist resources can help you investigate it:

• If a recent overseas degree may provide a genuine graduate-route starting point, High Potential Mag checks the award-period list and helps cost the finite relocation runway.
• If your nationality, age and circumstances may fit a working-adventure scheme, Youth Mobility Mag separates the actual scheme, evidence and application mechanism.
• If the plan involves a genuine UK sponsored job, Skilled Worker Mag helps you examine the employer, role and evidence instead of relying on remote income alone.
