Frequently asked questions

Which arts, entertainment and recreation employers sponsor UK visas? Theatres and production companies, sports clubs, museums, and leisure and fitness operators hold licences here. Filter the live register to arts, entertainment and recreation to see which are hiring.

What visa do I need to work in the arts or sport in the UK? Many backstage, technical and management roles use the Skilled Worker visa with a licensed sponsor. Performers, creative workers and sportspeople more often use the Creative Worker or International Sportsperson routes, which are designed for time-limited engagements and elite sport.

How do performers and athletes get sponsored to work in the UK? Actors, musicians and dancers usually enter through the Creative Worker route, while professional athletes and coaches use the International Sportsperson route, both of which need a licensed sponsor and often an endorsement from a governing body. Off-stage roles such as producers and technical staff can instead be sponsored under the Skilled Worker route.
