Re-Production, a UK-based provider of visas for touring artists, has established a new office and rebranded as Viva la Visa.

The Suffolk-headquartered company, founded in 1999 by punk musician and tour manager Andy Corrigan, has adopted the new identity with immediate effect. Its recently opened second office is in Wandsworth, in south London.

“In today’s global music market, the ability for performers to cross borders and meet their audience has never been so vital – or as fraught with potential pitfalls,” comments Corrigan. “As a former artist and occasional tour manager, I know only too well the challenges of planning an international schedule, the intricacies of the US visa system, last-minute panics over SXSW or the frantic 3am phone call from Japan over a lost passport. We have been there and done it.

“With our new London office we look forward to expanding our client base and assisting an even greater range of artists”

“Whether it’s a large touring party or a single applicant, Viva La Visa’s night and day service guarantees to smooth these processes and deal with the unforeseen, offering tailor-made solutions that ensure our applicants are unburdened from immigration hassles and benefit from an expert hand to guide them across the world. With our new London office we look forward to expanding our client base and assisting an even greater range of artists.”

Recent Re-Production/Viva la Visa clients include Beyoncé, The Rolling Stones, Take That, Wild Beasts, Stormzy, Daughter, Primal Scream and Muse.
