Harry Styles recently performed a series of concerts in
Amsterdam. As a British artist, he is allowed to stay in Europe for
up to three months, but he is not allowed to work in the
Netherlands without a work permit. His concerts fall under an
exception category. But what about his crew and foreign artists who
come to work in the Netherlands for a longer period of time? What
options do you have as an organizer or employer if you are planning
to hire or work with artists from outside the European Union?
International projects
As an organizer of a tour with an international theater or dance
company, a festival, filming for a movie or other international
projects of a temporary nature that are performed in the
Netherlands, it is important to find out if and on what basis the
artists and crew from outside the European Union can reside and
work in the Netherlands.
