ABOUT VISAS
When you come to Spain:
The artists coming from Europe to Spain dont need any VISA. Other countries they need VISA. We offer here a list of third countries whose nationals are subject to the visa requirement to cross the
external borders and of those whose nationals are exempt from this obligation.
When you recieve a spanish artist:
The visa application is made at the Spanish consulate or diplomatic mission of his demarcation of residence of the artist, or in the Office of Provincial Aliens if he is resident in Spain. Form EX-09 (FORM link, under this text), payment of the fee (model 790), photography, passport and supporting documentation of the case of exception to the work authorization (e.g. the contract of musical performance, relationship of authorizations or licenses) must be submitted.
ABOUT TAXATION
Double taxation agreement:
This agreement is created to avoid the double taxation of the personal tax, so that the tax is not applied by two countries..

ABOUT INSURANCES
Social Security applicable foreign artists
Most bilateral social security agreements signed by Spain lay down the rule that the applicable legislation is that of the musician's state of origin. In this case, it is not necessary to carry out a position in Spanish Social Security, either as an autonomous or under artists; the artist must provide a certificate from the corresponding administrative authority of his country proving that he is discharged (he may be hired by a production company or management office, or be self-employed in his country).
If musicians are employed in a company, it would be a transnational job scenario. This means that the temporary movement occurs on 20 and under the direction of the foreign company, for the execution of a contract concluded between that company (producer, management, booker) and the recipient of the provision of services that is established in Spain (local promoter, organizer of the show). That is why the visa procedures will be carried out by the foreign company that has contracted them.
