Hey tribe, I do work in a remote setup and looking to be around the UK, because my partner will be going there for her studies, for a year. Apart from getting a tourist visa, what are the other ways you guys can suggest

Interested in the same question.

working on a tourist visa would be a violation of the visa policies https://www.gov.uk/standard-visitor-visa

You cannot: [...] do paid or unpaid work for a UK company or as a self-employed person

You'll probably have to apply along with your partner on a student/dependent visa https://www.gov.uk/student-visa/family-members

Its legal if you on tourist visa and working for any company.which is not based out of UK
