  That just implies that the origin country (UK) is ok with someone working remotely. You're still bound to the laws of the destination country. Further, there's a difference between what's easily possible (nobody will easily notice if you work from another country on a tourist visa) vs what is legal.

    In Canada, it's expressly legal to travel and work remotely (depending on the work). You can read the Canadian government's definition of work (in the context of requiring a work permit) here: https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/corporate/publications-manuals/operational-bulletins-manuals/temporary-residents/foreign-workers/what-is-work.html https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/co... > “Work” is defined in the Regulations as an activity for which wages are paid or commission is earned, or that competes directly with activities of Canadian citizens or permanent residents in the Canadian labour market.

    Sorry I'm not following. This is Home Office advice to visitors to the UK not for UK citizens visiting other countries.
