I have my ILR-Can i work in Europe for a short period?

[BongoBarney]

Hi there. I am new to this forum. I am an American Citizen with an American Passport and i have ILR already here in the United Kingdom and have for nearly 20 years. My question is this. I have been invited to work for three days in Germany. I am a musician and i have been asked to teach and perform over a three day period. I asked if i needed a work permit and was told that since i pay my taxes in the UK, that i am allowed to do this. I feel uncertain about this though and don't want to get there only to be denied entry. Does anyone know if this is ok or do i need some sort of additional visas or permits? If so, which ones and how and where would i start the process? Thank you very much in advance. Like i said, i am brand new to the forum so i'm hoping that i am asking this question in the right part of this forum. Thanks again.

My understanding is you can enter Germany visafree (as an American) but you would need a domestic work visa to cover working.
Even a Schengen visa would not permit work.

Also tax is due where the work is done so you will have a German tax liability. And if I were to name one government organisation not to mess with it's the German Finanzamt.....

The OP need a national visa (visa typ-d) which include the right to work.
Tax is not a problem. The promotor is reliable for a artist in a short time job.
