Hello,

I'm having a tough time trying to navigate my possibilities to get a uk visa,
I've just graduated with a masters of fine arts in germany, and did undergrad fine arts
all in Canada. I'm a third gen canadian, so not eligible for an ancestry visa.
At this point I'm not making the money to live soley as an artist or as 'self-employed' (just finished studying.)
but I have about 6 years of experience working in this field.

Does anyone have any experience trying to get an 'entertainer' visa?!

Many Thanks!

You know, I remember reading about a visa along the lines of what you would need (as an entertainer). I believe it was just temporary, though. I wish I could remember what site I had found it on to give you a hand, but just do your best looking up "UK Visas" and try adding "entertainer" or "fine arts" into your search string.

I hope that you find what you're looking for!
