Navigating the Visa Process for Artists from Abroad
An increasing number of U.S.-based theatres are working with international artists and presenting work from abroad. Understanding the difference between each type of visa and how to obtain them, along with the potential tax obligations facing international groups and performers, will help you save time, money and a lot of frustration!
Jonathan Ginsburg, artist immigration attorney and author of the visa section of artistsfromabroad.org, along with Brian Taylor Goldstein, artist immigration and entertainment attorney and Andi Floyd, visa specialist and artistic services manager, demystify the visa process for artists.
Only one person per theatre may register.
