Is it possible to find a contract for a dev that has no permit to work in UK? For instance, I'm skilled in Scala&Python and can easily visit UK as a tourist/businessman. What's the way to this market?(Scala User Group meetups, anything other)?

I'd be in violation of your visa/visa waiver. I have to pay UK corporation tax, something you won't be able to do with a National Insurance number (right to work in the UK) or working on a work visa or something.

I have American friends that have come and worked in the UK, but all for companies, none have setup themselves, so not sure if it's possible.

It shouldnt be a violation if I'll visit UK only to get new contracts and work on them remotely. I also have my own LLC in EU, so I can act on its behalf making taxation for customer easier.

The question is how to reach the market?

Work from home, and you'll be sorted, even if you're coming in from week to week. Tax laws target _where the work is done_. Then you're just coming to visit a client.
