The UK attracts world class artists, entertainers, musicians and sports people and that’s not going to change in the future system.

The current immigration rules contain a wide range of provisions to cater for artists, entertainers, musicians and sportspeople and this will continue to be the case in future.

Citizens of the Republic of Ireland will continue to enjoy the ability to live, work and perform in the UK as they have always been able to.
