Global Fashion Industry Immigration Services

Using Immigration Services for Fashion Industry Travel

The global fashion industry employs over 75 million people worldwide, and involves huge amounts of regular cross-continental travel. Fashion shows and Fashion Weeks are exhibited internationally, and attract hundreds of thousands of visitors and international media recognition annually.

This means that individuals, large groups and businesses often require tailored immigration services and policy support in order to commit to the high industry demands of global travel.

Participating in the fashion industry, whether to travel for business meetings or to attend fashion shows and fashion week, usually requires specific visas, work permits, and other legal requirements in order to ensure compliance and smooth immigration procedures.

Immigration Requirements

Visas and work permits for the fashion industry tend to fall into a subcategory of work visas, and depending on where you travel to, and depending on the purpose of your trip, will vary from business visa categories to a more specific global talent visa.

Common categories of work associated with the fashion industry are:

• Fashion designers and creatives
• Global talent and exceptional talent
• Media outlets
• Fashion specialist fields.

Workers and groups within the fashion industry may require immigration support for:

• Short term visit/tourist or business visas
• Global Talent visa application
• Creative worker visa
• Visas for Exceptional Promise criteria
• Fashion design endorsement
• Endorsement application
• For work in the UK, indefinite leave (desire to settle permanently and gain permanent residence)
• Other needs in the fashion specialist field

Our Global Fashion Industry Immigration Services

As fashion industry needs are so diverse, it can be difficult for individual workers as well as large-scale businesses to ensure that they are travelling and working under the correct legal terms. Oftentimes, different countries have very different types of visas and eligibility criteria to meet in order for applicants to successfully travel or move to their destination, and many of those who have industry recognition travel to more than one country on a regular basis.
