Members please note that from 1 January 2021 the UK is no longer a member of EU (transition finished).
If you are planning to recruit or book artists from overseas from 1 January 2021 you will need to register as a Licenced Visa Sponsor.
You may not be able to legally hire people from outside the UK if you do not have a licence. New employees from outside the UK will also need to meet new job, salary, and language requirements. Irish citizens and those eligible under the EU Settlement Scheme are not affected.

Good Luck
