On The Move

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.

Lights, camera…global mobility.   In this episode, Shai Dayan and Angelo Paparelli spotlight Oscar-nominated actor Timothée Chalamet, whose latest film "Marty Supreme" features a key scene filmed just outside Tokyo. As a dual US–French citizen working on an international production, what immigration rules would he likely need to navigate to film legally in Japan?   Joined by Jia Ee, Director at Vialto Japan, the trio breaks down Japan’s Entertainer visa, the Certificate of Eligibility process, and how global film productions coordinate immigration compliance when Hollywood heads overseas.

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.
