On The Move

What does it take for a Hollywood star to film in Italy? In this episode of Celebrities on the Move, hosts Shai Dayan and Rekha Simpson explore the immigration considerations behind Anne Hathaway’s work on Christopher Nolan’s The Odyssey.

Joined by Vialto Italy immigration specialist Costanza Petreni, they discuss the distinction between business travel and filming, the employment and self-employment routes available to international performers, and the planning required to get cast and crew ready for action. Discover how work authorization, sponsorship, and timing come together behind the scenes of a major international production.

In this episode, hosts Shai Dayan and Raha Torabi, joined by Hugo Vijge, Global Immigration Director at Vialto Netherlands, put Brad Pitt’s F1 film shoot at Circuit Zandvoort under the immigration spotlight.

Together, they explore the work authorization, permits, and timelines that can keep an international film production—and its leading man—on track.

Host Rekha Simpson and guest speakers Jammy Mustafa and Hugo Vijge reflect on the recent Middle East crisis, drawing on their own experiences and those of clients they supported through the disruption. They explore what the crisis can teach organizations about preparing for future disruption—from knowing where your people are to connecting the right data, governance, and decision-makers—and the capabilities that help organizations respond with greater speed, clarity, and resilience.

Short business trips often feel low-risk, but when it comes to social security, even a few days abroad can carry real implications. In this episode of "Social security matters", host Gary Chandler is joined by Vialto experts Andrei Ioanei and Lara Kodytek to unpack why coverage can be triggered from day one, and how common assumptions can leave both employees and employers exposed.

It's a very special, festive edition of Celebrities On The Move, as Shai and Rekha gather to talk about the big man himself: Santa Claus! We all know that Kris Kringle performs magic on Christmas Eve by visiting virtually every country in the world to spread joy, deliver presents, and consume millions of calories from the treats left out by children and their families. But how does he (legally) make his way to the United States? Our hosts are joined by yet another of Vialto's expert US immigration attorneys, Ashley Poonia, as they run through the various possibilities and come to a very practical conclusion. 

In this historic episode of Celebrities On The Move, Shai and Rekha are together for the very first time, recording from our Vialtitude client conference in Las Vegas. They're joined by Vialto US immigration attorney Adena Whitlow for a uniquely first-hand perspective on the immigration and citizenship journey of the Canadian-born, US-dual citizen star of Superbad, Pineapple Express, and, most recently, the acclaimed Apple TV series, The Studio. Adena doesn't just know US immigration - she knew Rogen before he became an Emmy-winning Hollywood celebrity. You don't want to miss this!

Vialto's Gary Chandler and Alan McAllin return to On The Move for part three of their Social Security Matters series. This time, they explore three very specific opportunities for companies and their employees to save big money on social security taxes as they move between countries. All while keeping the employee whole.

Prodded by Executive Orders of the Trump administration, American immigration officials ask ever more probing questions and request voluminous information. Consular officers question visa applicants; border officers inspect applicants for admission; USCIS officers interview companies and visa holders at FDNS site inspections; and federal immigration agencies require answers to ever-longer online and paper-based forms and issue requests for additional evidence.
