My Department has no plans to introduce a specific cultural visa for artists intending to travel to the State. However, visas are issued for specific events such as public performances of the type referred to by the Deputy, subject to appropriate accompanying documentation. This includes a schedule of the dates of the performance or other events and a work permit or other written permission from the Department of Enterprise, Trade and Employment in place of a work permit.
