Publication: The Ultimate Cookbook for Cultural Managers - Third-Country National Artists working in the EU (2024)

by PEARLE

This booklet aims at unraveling the complex patchwork of immigration rules across EU Member States.

These disparities create significant administrative burdens, especially for touring artists moving between several EU countries in a single trip.
