Visas for Temporary Workers (creative and sporting)
At Yati Events, we go to great lengths to help our clients gain access into the UK, being highly knowledgeable on which routes of entry are required.
If you are coming to Britain for paid, temporary work for up to a year (with a UK sponsor) you will require a visa application under the Tier 5 creative and sporting category, clearly identifying what type of work you will be carrying out and how long you will be residing in the country.
You can apply for a Tier 5 (Temporary Worker – Creative and Sporting) visa if:
- You have been offered work as a sportsperson or creative worker in the UK
- You are from outside the European Economic Area (EEA) and Switzerland
- You meet the eligibility requirements

Sponsorships
If you have someone sponsoring the work you are carrying out in the UK then you will need to provide details of this partnership. Your sponsor will need to provide an entry certificate of sponsorship in order for you to obtain a working visa. A multiple entry certificate of sponsorship will be required if you wish to leave the UK and return again to carry out this work.
The benefactor can give you a certificate that covers the entire length of your stay, even if you need to perform at more than one event. If you are lucky enough to be working for more than one sponsor then you will need a certificate from each of them. Note that there cannot be a gap of more than 14 days between each job.
Handling and registering sponsorship documentation is something we at Event Immigration can assist with, seeing that none of our clients are left confused, channeling their efforts into preparing for their trip.
