Visa advice for artists and arts organisations

Member resource - 17 July 2026

On 23 June, SCAN held two sessions which covered the general legal requirements when applying for visas and the regular pitfalls to be aware of. 

The first session catered to artist applicants focusing primarily on the Global Talent and Tier 5: Creative Worker Visa. This session aimed to give applicants the confidence to apply themselves while giving organisations insight into ways to support.

The second session aimed to support organisations that sponsor artists or are interested in sponsoring. 

These are the slides that accompanied both sessions.
