This course covers how the markets differ, entry and work rights after Brexit, testing standards abroad, agents and bookings, rates and getting paid, travel and logistics, scams and safety, culture and language on set, country guides for the Czech Republic, Hungary, Germany, Spain and the Netherlands, the USA reality, and coming home with your records and your health in order.

Working Abroad: Shooting in Europe: questions
Can I just fly out and shoot as a tourist?
Tourist entry is not permission to work, and the rules differ by country. The course explains the 90 days in 180 rule, what to check for each market and where the risk sits.
Does it cover the USA?
Yes, honestly. Working on a visa waiver or visitor visa is not permitted, so the chapter sets out the visa routes in outline and when a US trip is realistic.
