Entering as a tourist does not by itself allow you to take local employment, and remote work for a foreign employer sits in a grey area that each country treats differently. Check the “Remote work” purpose for the same country.

How this database is maintained
Each row is a separate record with its own official URL, last-verified date and a verified flag, so immigration information is reviewed and updated independently of the destination pages. Unverified rows show the warning prominently. Corrections are welcome through the Contact page and are logged with the date of change.
