Visitors are permitted to undertake activities relating to their employment overseas remotely whilst they are in the UK, such as responding to emails or answering phone calls. A UK “tourist visa” is called a “Standard Visitor visa.” Lots of digital nomads illegally claim they're on holiday, and who's checking? I'm sure a lot of people would be happy to pay a fee for a temporary work permit though. You just register with the City Hall or wherever in your target country. Switzerland/Germany and within the EU freedom of movement means it doesn't really matter much. Most Europeans have access to things like cross border permits e.g.
So in this case I was working but paying taxes elsewhere. I had to get a a J1 visa for a two week stay in the US because I was being paid remotely by a US organisation. Whether you can legally work in the US is another matter. That's just to determine if you should pay tax, and note that vacations to the US contribute. The US substantial presence test is actually something like 31 days in the current year, and ~180 calculated as a weighted sum of presence over all visits in the preceeding few years. You can visit for 90 days but what you're allowed to do is restricted to tourism and "temporary business".
