Mobility Information Points (MIPs) are organisations that help artists and culture professionals with the administrative issues of cross-border mobility, through free information and consultation services. Key issues include visas, social insurance, taxes, and customs.
MIPs are central contact points for artists and culture professionals as well as organisations hosting or collaborating with them (producers, managers, curators, artistic companies or ensembles, venues, festivals, residency spaces, etc.) when it comes to administrative issues of international mobility in relation to their respective countries.
MIPs currently exist in 8 EU countries (Austria, Belgium, Czech Republic, France, Germany, Portugal, Slovenia, and The Netherlands), as well as in the United Kingdom and the USA.
MIPs are all members of On the Move’s network.
