The Cost of Bringing Music to the United States Could Increase for Foreign Artists
The United States Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has proposed to raise the prices of O and P visas, which are granted to artists who wish to perform temporarily in the country. According to the proposal, the P visa, currently costing $460, would increase to $1,615, while the O visa for long-term work would rise from $460 to $1,655. These increases include an additional charge of $600 to fund the government’s asylum program.
The DHS also recommends a limit of 25 people per visa application and a longer processing time for premium processing. This service, which costs $2,500 and currently takes 15 calendar days, would change to 15 business days. In addition, other types of visas for foreign workers, including the H-1B, would also increase in price under the proposal. In 2020, the DHS proposed a 50% increase in visa fees for artists, but these changes were never implemented. The last price increase was in 2016.
The proposed increase in visa fees could significantly impact foreign artists and musicians who wish to perform in the United States. The rise in costs could make it more difficult for these artists to come to the country and perform, which could have a negative impact on the cultural exchange and diversity in the music industry.
In conclusion, the proposed increase in visa fees for foreign artists and musicians could have a significant impact on the music industry and cultural exchange in the United States. It remains to be seen whether these changes will be implemented, and if so, the full extent of their impact.
