A Home Office policy statement suggests that musicians coming from the European Union fall under similar requirements as non-EU musicians.

Be sure your voice is heard

Government must have a different set of rules for musicians working in the EU.

Otherwise our jobs, our livelihoods, the breadth and beauty of UK music, and our £5.2 billion industry are all at risk.

Over 66,000 musicians have signed the petition for a reciprocal Musicians’ Passport.
