Overview
If an artist charges a fee for their performance, a work visa is required. Similarly, if the artist does not personally receive payment but the event generates revenue through ticket sales, a work visa is still necessary. However, if the artist performs without being paid and no box office revenue is collected by the event organizer, they may be permitted to perform under a tourist visa, bypassing the need for a Work Visa. Such scenarios are uncommon and typically occur in the context of non-commercial festivals. Legal guidance can help clarify the applicable rules, the risks involved, and the next step that fits your situation.
