As a rule, a permit to exhibit persons is granted for an unlimited period of time. However, it can also be issued for a limited period. If you wish to apply for an extension, the same conditions apply as for the initial granting of the permit.

The permit is tied to a specific person and location. It can be issued for individual events but also for regular events.
