If you are planning on performing in the US, you know that getting the proper visas has always been tough, but in recent years the difficulties and costs of obtaining legal working papers have risen astronomically. At Tamizdat, we are working to ensure that the US remains accessible to foreign artists. Founded as a non-profit  in 1997, Tamizdat has become the leading provider of US visa facilitation to the world's performing arts community. Tamizdat was started by artists, and our staff all comes out of the performing arts industry. Every year, we work closely with artists, labels, agents, and management to help thousands of musicians tour the US legally and affordably.

If you are considering working with us, you can get a good sense of the process if you take a moment to look through the pages, especially "Documents we need from you". If you still have questions or if you know you want to work with us, please contact matthew@tamizdat.org, and we will get you started in the right direction.
