Your talent, our care, we open the doors to the Netherlands

The Netherlands is a center for art, music, culture and creativity. And yet, the visa or residence permit process for artists is often complex, fragmented and time-consuming. That is why we take over that process entirely for you. With an eye for your unique discipline, ambitions and planning.

Which artist visa fits your plans?

Each artist comes to the Netherlands for a different purpose. A concert, a festival, an exhibition, a residency, courses at art schools... and each goal comes with a different type of visa. We help you clearly and calmly determine which visa is required to legally carry out your artistic activities.

Short Stay Visa (Schengen Visa) for gigs up to 90 days
Cultural Visa for Exhibitions, Cultural Exchanges and Projects
Artist Visa (long-term residence permit) for artists who want to work or study in the Netherlands for a longer period of time
Artists/Representative Work Visa for Managers, Technicians, and Support Staff
