Bold Music Business Class CHAPTER 29 Visas and Work Permits #SteemitPost
For any live work outside of the artist’s country of residence a visa or work permit is often required. The process involved in obtaining these can take up to four months in some cases, so it is essential for the manager or artist to deal with this issue as soon as foreign dates are confirmed.
There have been numerous foreign tours that have been cancelled due to insufficient paperwork, which is a disaster for the artist and very embarrassing for the manager. Visas and work permits need to be a top priority for any good manager and the progress of these documents needs to be monitored on a daily basis. If the artist or any member of a band has a criminal record for drug possession or anything else, this can be a major problem in securing visas and work permits, so before engaging a new band member it is worth checking these issues.
Obtaining visas to perform in the US is becoming increasingly difficult. There are also substantial government fees attached to a successful US work visa. A scheme also exists that, for an extra fee, an artist’s visa can be fast-tracked through the system, but even this process can take up to two months to complete. If the manager feels uncomfortable about interfacing with consulates and embassies for such documentation there are several specialist visa agencies that can be used to obtain visas on behalf of artists. One such agency specialising in US work visas is Traffic Control based in New York (www.tcgworld.com).
There is also a separatelyowned Traffic Control agency in London specialising in European work visas. (www.trafficcontrolgroup.com). These are just two examples, but an Internet search will throw up several examples of other such agencies based all around the world. It should be noted that no visas or work permits are required if the artist is resident in the EU and wishes to perform in another EU member country.
