<p>Currently, visiting artists, entertainers and musicians can perform at events,
take part in competitions and auditions, make personal appearances and take part in
promotional activities for up to 6 months without the need for formal sponsorship
or a work visa. They can also receive payment for appearance at permit free festivals
for up to 6 months, or for up to one month for a specific engagement, under the Visitor
route.</p><p>Artists wishing to come to the UK for longer-term work will need to do
so under the points-based system. There will continue to be special arrangements for
