EUROPEAN FESTIVALS ASSOCIATION AND PEARLE* PRESENT THE UPDATED VERSION OF THE ULTIMATE GUIDE FOR CULTURAL MANAGERS - VISAS FOR THIRD COUNTRY NATIONAL ARTISTS TRAVELLING TO THE SCHENGEN AREA
Joint press release

The 6th edition of the EFA RISE series What you didn’t know about Europe - The Ultimate Cookbook for Cultural Managers is out now with an update on Visa legislation.

Although mobility is on hold and Live Performance is coping with the challenges of reopening its physical doors to their artists and audiences, the sector will tour again, have residencies and co-productions as cross-border working is deeply rooted in the DNA of the live performance sector.

How we travel will be rethought. Considerations on more sustainable forms of touring are not new and have quite some supporters.

This booklet gives you information on visas for the Schenghen Area, what types there are, who needs them, how and where to lodge your application as well as useful advice and tips to help visa applicants and performance hosts to navigate the process.

This new edition follows the successful synergy partnership between EFA and Pearle* - Live Performance Europe started in 2014, in the context of EFA RISE, to improve general knowledge of the legal and managerial aspects of cross-border cultural cooperation and counts with similar publications on Social Security, Artist Taxation, VAT, Copyright Clearing for Live Events.

This 6th edition, Visas for Third Country National Artists Travelling to the Schengen Area – Update 2020, was officially be presented by Pearle*- Live Performance Europe on the 29 May 20 in the frame of the 59th Pearle Conference.

The booklet is available to download in the Resource Center
