From invitation to activation
Turn the tour idea into a route-ready pitch.
Concrete dates, activities, payment and host details make the fastest credible path visible.
Step-by-step
Build the brief
- Describe every activity. Include attendance, meetings, talks, workshops, performances, sales, interviews and remote work days.
- Map every payment. Record currency, payer, recipient, location of payment, fee, honorarium, royalties, expenses and in-kind benefits.
- Name the local host. Add the legal entity, contact person, venue, dates, audience and local purpose.
- Ask for the exact pathway. Request the visa or exemption name, work permission, permit, sponsor action and lead time.
- Clarify close calls in writing. Keep the question and reply together with the dated official source.
- Sequence the commitments. Lock the invitation and route first, then place the larger non-refundable bets.
- Carry a clean evidence pack. Invitation, itinerary, payment terms, insurance, accommodation, return travel, funds and permits.
- Recheck shortly before travel. Fresh rules can reveal a simpler route or a new program.
Host questions
Ask the organiser before accepting
- Are you the legal host or is another entity contracting the activity?
- Is this an appearance, lecture, training service, performance, exhibition, trade activity or employment under local rules?
- Will you sponsor or lodge any visa, work permit, event, labour or cultural approval?
- Have you hosted foreign speakers, teachers, authors or performers under this pathway before?
- Who pays fees, expenses, tax and social contributions, and in which country?
- May books, merchandise, tickets or services be sold? Who is the seller of record?
- Can you provide the classification and permit responsibility in writing?
