Please note: These rules will not be affected by the UKs withdrawal from the EU for Brighton Fringe 2020.
Brighton Fringe welcomes national and international acts. Every year for the last eight years, Brighton Fringe has been granted permit free status, making it easier to come over with an entertainer visa if you are from a NON-EEA country.
Most citizens of the EEA and Switzerland are free to enter and live in the UK without applying for permission and in most cases are also able to take part in Brighton Fringe without needing any visa or work permit.
This is the case for citizens of the following countries:
Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Croatia, Republic of Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Irish Republic, Italy, Latvia, Lichtenstein, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Switzerland, Sweden, United Kingdom.
If you would like to participate in Brighton Fringe 2020 and reside in a NON-EEA country, take a look at our visa and FEU pages for guidance on what you need to do.
