Ask HN: Would it be illegal for a UK citizen to work in the US on a tourist visa
If they were being paid via a UK company. ie: offshoring the work although the worker would be present. Does anyone have any knowledge of this please?
- bdfh42 15y agoWhen you fill in the form to get your US tourist visa (or visa waiver - which is more common) you declare explicitly that you will not be doing paid work.
- gforces 15y agoThat is correct: you cannot enter the USA with the intention of working whilst traveling on a tourist visa.
