Seek to agree a Touring Music Visa Scheme with the EU

Petition Details

We urge the Government to collaborate with the EU to establish a Touring Professional Visa for UK touring industry, enabling 90+ day travel within the Schengen Zone for work purposes. This visa could help support the unique needs of the music industry, allowing artists and crews to tour more easily.

Additional Information

The UK music industry, pivotal to our cultural and economic success, has been severely impacted by post-Brexit travel restrictions. A dedicated EU Visa could help facilitate easier movement of artists and crew within the EU, helping to ensure the continued vibrancy and global reach of British music. We think initiative will help preserve jobs, encourage cultural exchange, and maintain the UK's esteemed position in the global music scene, benefiting both the industry and broader cultural sectors.
