    Default Bookings in Europe for US Citizens?

    Hey everyone,
    I'm just curious if anyone knows what is entailed for an American to get bookings in Europe? Visas, liscences, that sort of thing. I would like to take a few months off and dance around Europe...England, Scotland, France, etc., so any help would be greatly appreciated! I am currently getting back into the feature circuit here in the states, but would love to hear about anyone's experiences in Europe. (or Japan) I looked through a bunch of old threads but wasn't able to find anything about lisences or visas, and your experiences if you'd done this, so any help would be great.
    Thanks in advance!

    You'd probably need a working holiday visa unless you plan to stay longer, then a sponored employee visa from the company.

    Nein, you'll pretty much have to do it illegally. I mean, maybe there's a visa you can get, but it's hard enough for a commonwealther...I think you're better off just taking your chances. Easiest country to try, though, would be Ireland.

    ^^ ack...that sounds complicated and needlessly risky.

    to clarify a bit, 'British' commonwealth countries i.e. Canada, Australia, New Zealand etc. have an arrangement wherein their citizens are able to travel to and work in the UK without the usual visa application. Since the UK is a member of the EU, they can then easily branch out from the UK to work in other EU countries. The United States is NOT party to this commonwealth arrangement, thus to legally work in an EU country you are technically required to obtain a visa ... which must usually be applied for by the prospective EU employer / agency and not by the American girl herself. Thus the comment that American girls wishing to work in EU countries short term are probably better off 'taking their chances' without a visa.

    If it's any consolation, non-US girls obtaining work visas to legally work in US clubs is now just as complicated and just as difficult.

    If you're a student you could go through BUNAC (to the UK and Ireland). Other than that your option is to work illegally.

    It used to be pretty easy to work illegally in the UK but it has tightened up a bit of late. Mind you London is still awash with Brazilian girls who are not legal unless they have a Portuguese passport { many seem to have} and there are also quite a few Russians and Romanians. You get stories about some girls being exploited because they are illegal but that tends to be Eastern Europeans who have been brought out there specially.There are some US girls working in London still but not as many as 15 or 20 years ago.

    Working holiday visa in Australia is $30, while a sponsored working visa is $300.

    Expect it to be the same, only in pounds. They seem to do that.

    You still have to get a working visa from some Commonwealth places to others... not Australia to New Zealand or England to France... but definitely Australia to France and more further apart commonwealth nations.

    You'd only have to be sponsored if you planned on working more than 3 months to SUPPORT A VACATION. You'd have to prove you have xxx in your bank account ALREADY to state that you're ONLY supplementing your vacation...

    but yeah.
