As Hollywood productions increasingly shift to Europe, more and more American actors are exploring opportunities across the Atlantic. From Netflix dramas in the UK to studio films in Hungary, Spain, and Ireland, Europe has become a growing hub for international talent.

But navigating the maze of visas, residency permits, and citizenship pathways can be overwhelming—every country has its own rules, categories, and hidden hurdles, while initial consultations with immigration lawyers can cost upwards from $500 - before even signing any engagement contract!

We are thus thrilled to have Addleshaw Goddard Ireland LLP (AG) offer you its immigration services, highlighting its extensive experience, with over 130 years in the industry and a team of 32 partners and more than 100 professionals. AG boasts specialist expertise in Irish corporate immigration, with renowned partners David Cantrell and David Heneghan recognised as leaders in the field. The firm offers a personalised and efficient service, ensuring high-quality, responsive support tailored to client needs.

This exclusive one-hour Zoom webinar by Nonito Barbero from AG Ireland is designed for working and aspiring American actors. Nonito is a leading immigration attorney from one of Europe’s top legal firms specialising in entertainment and immigration law. He is an associate in the Immigration & Dispute Resolution Department having joined Addleshaw Goddard Ireland in 2023.
