Remote work & visa

Hi and welcome to the Forum.

What you are considering is not impossible, but not easy.  There are many different work visas you can consider; this link will take you to the UK Gov website where they are all listed.  To answer your specific questions:

• Best place to look.  I'd recommend LinkedIn; reach out to your peers and colleagues who already do what you do, but here in the UK.  Speak to them and find out who is hiring, where that is and how much they are paying.
• Rules/taxes.  I know someone who does it, but he works for the Dutch Government and the rules for them working overseas fall outside any EU rules and obligations; I suspect this loophole will be closed in due course if it hasn't already.  His Dutch work contract complies with the CAO and reflects the reality and he does have to spend a specified number of days working back in the Netherlands.  He pays his taxes etc in the Netherlands.
• You'll still need one of the work visas.  Where you are assessed for taxes does depend on where you are deemed as being a resident for the greater part of a tax year.  It's a bit complicated because the Dutch and UK tax years run over different periods (NL Jan>Dec; UK Apr>Mar), but in general, if you live in the UK, you'll be assessed here.  However, assessed does not mean pay in these matters.  There is a tax treaty in place between the UK/NL (link), it generally covers things like double-taxation, pensions and business taxes, so may help you - my advice is to speak to a tax expert (services link at the top of this page), nobody here on the Forum is qualified to tell you the detail.

You haven't mentioned it, but you could qualify for a family visa (to join your partner).  Here is a link to the UK Gov website on this matter.  Have you considered what is probably the simplest and most pragmatic answer to your situation and is what my wife and I had to do many years ago, get married?

Anyway, I hope this has helped, groetjes van uit Engeland.

@Cynic Thanks so much for all the information, very helpful!

@Cynic, it looks like getting a cicil partnership will be the easiest way. Do you have any recommendations on immigration lawyers, or else some advice how to get this going?

Thank you
