Business and legal aspects of working internationally

Working internationally has its own legal and business consequences. 

Mobility Information Points (MIPs) are information points in Europe and the United States that assist artists and cultural professionals with administrative challenges such as visas, social security, taxes, customs, etc. that arise when working cross-border.

Cultuurloket is the MIP for Belgium. More information about the Mobility Information Points can be found at On The Move.

‘The Ultimate Cookbookfor cultural managers’ by the European Festival Association (EFA) provides advice on the most important themes. Together with PEARLE*, it created accompanying infographics for 4 publications that visually summarise the most important information.
