<p>The Secretary of State for Exiting the European Union has regular discussions with
EU counterparts regarding preparations for the UK’s departure from the European Union.</p><p>Throughout
this process the Government’s position has been clear; we want a positive future relationship
that will support the growth of the creative industries in both the UK and the EU.</p><p>For
British musicians resident in the EU before exit day, all Member States have now set
out unilateral offers for resident UK nationals in the event of a no deal, and have
drafted or enacted relevant legislation, which has been summarised on the European
<a href="https://ec.europa.eu/info/brexit/brexit-preparedness/citizens-rights_en"
target="_blank">Commission website</a>:</p><p>https://ec.europa.eu/info/brexit/brexit-preparedness/citizens-rights_en</p><p>After
exit, if the UK leaves the EU with a deal, the existing EU rules will continue during
the implementation period. This would allow UK nationals and EU citizens to visit
and work in each other's territories as they do now from exit day until the end of
the implementation period.</p><p>If the UK leaves the EU without a deal, UK nationals
travelling to the EU to undertake paid work, including in the music industry, should
check with the Embassy of the countries they plan to travel to for what kind of visa
or permit, if any, they will need. Information about entry requirements for those
intending to work or provide a service in an EU Member State is listed on our <a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/collections/providing-services-to-eea-and-efta-countries-after-eu-exit"
