<p>While the government is clear that free movement will end when we leave the EU,
we are aware that continued access to international talent and the ability for UK
talent to tour are key concerns for the cultural and creative sectors.</p><p><br>Non-EEA
musicians and artists can currently enter the UK through a range of routes. Standard
visitors can be paid for their participation at Permit Free Festivals for up to six
months, Permitted Paid Engagement visitors can undertake various engagements for up
to one month and the Tier 5 (Creative and Sporting) route permits artists, performers
and their entourage to work in the UK. Tier 5 visas are granted for up to 12 months
and can be extended for up to a maximum of 2 years in the UK.</p><p><br>The Home Office
has launched a year-long engagement programme on the proposals in the White Paper
on our future skills-based immigration system. The Home Office is working with DCMS
and creative and cultural industries throughout this process so that Government approaches
policy well informed by those working in the sector.</p>
