Certificate of Sponsorship & U.K Visa
In order to undertake activities as an artist or entertainer in the UK, you will normally need to obtain a visa under one of the tiers of the points-based system. The points-based system has special categories and rules for those in the creative and entertainment industries. In most categories you will need to be sponsored by an employer. However, if you are going to be in the UK briefly, or for a single event or activity, one of the visitor visa categories may be more appropriate.
The main immigration routes available to artists and entertainers are:
Visit (Standard) – Business Creative
Permitted Paid Engagement
Tier 1 (Exceptional Talent)
Tier 2 (General)
Tier 5 (Temporary Worker – Creative)
Many of our clients use us as a ‘one-stop-shop’ when it comes to their passport and visa needs as we simply take the stress out of the process. Entertainment travel can be a complicated undertaking, and if done incorrectly can restrict future travel plans, and thus impact on a career overseas. Our team can assist you with acquiring a certificate of sponsorship and completing your visa process.
