The Arts Infopoint UK Visa Guide has been created to help you understand the visa options available when planning a creative visit to the UK for work purposes. It aims to help international organisations, artists and professionals, as well as UK based creative organisations, venues and artists who will be hosting and welcoming international artists to the UK. We aim to revise this guide on a annual basis, to ensure that the information we provide remains up to date.
The Visa Guide was co-drafted by legal professionals, but it does not constitute legal advice. If you do need legal advice, you should get in touch with a suitably qualified lawyer. Read our full Legal Disclaimer here.
