On what visas or permits do they come?

Question

To the united staes. Actors. Bcoz I always hear how foreign actors came to the USA. What type of permit do they get.

Answer 1

There is a special category for artists who travel a lot, stay on location longer than the normal tourist visa allows, etc. Besides, if you're wealthy enough, you can do anything. All an actor has to do is employ 20 or 25 people (the enterage) and bring along 1 million dollars and he also qualifies for a special permit under the entrepreneur category.

Answer 2

They probably receive a work visa. Those visas allow one to work with some restrictions and rules and things like that.
