National visa for members of artistic groups including musicians, actors, dancers, and film crews working in Greece for more than three months.
The Artist Group Member Visa (B.3) is a specialized national visa designed for performers, musicians, and members of artistic ensembles who intend to work in Greece. This visa category recognizes the unique, collaborative nature of artistic groups and facilitates their entry for performances, concerts, or television productions. It is intended for professionals who are part of a structured group and have a clear, documented purpose for their visit, ensuring that their artistic contributions are legally recognized within the Greek cultural and labor framework.
This visa is specifically for those whose work involves organized artistic activities. For short-term engagements, specific exemptions may apply, but for stays exceeding 90 days, applicants must secure a National (D) visa. Upon arrival in Greece, holders of this visa are required to transition to a residence permit by applying to the relevant immigration authorities. The process emphasizes the need for formal contracts, proof of professional status, and adherence to Greek social security and labor regulations, ensuring that all artistic participants are fully compliant with national laws during their residency.
