A new US Artist Visa Guide has been published to help international artists navigate the process of obtaining a long-term US artist visa.
The newly unveiled Artist Visa Guide serves as a comprehensive resource, offering essential information, FAQs, and best practices for securing the three-year O-1 visa. This free online handbook is designed to streamline the application process for DJs and producers who may have previously been discouraged by the visa’s complexity, challenges, and high costs.
The O-1 visa, known for its stringent eligibility requirements and hefty fees, often deters international artists from pursuing opportunities in the US. Understanding these barriers, the Artist Visa Guide aims to demystify the process and provide clear, actionable insights to help artists apply successfully.
This initiative is part of a broader campaign by RA, BASEMENT, and Wire Festival to advocate for visa reforms.
