Had an email conversation with a Bob Agency today which blew my mind. We are talking about a gig which I could conceivably be interested in, and the client is interested in me, and we agree rate for interview, etc, and then he says "I assume you are a British National, yes?". To which I reply, actually no, I'm Irish. He then says that this will be a problem as the client is based in London and I'll need to be a British national or on a visa to work there.

Jesus wept.

I have had a really bad morning.

This has just fixed it. Thank you

Whenever I get involved with Bobs it ends with regrets. Good luck to you.

I had the same trouble being Belgian.
She clarified I needed to be an EU citizen, as sponsorship wasn't an option.
I highlighted that Belgium is definitely the EU.
Oh, how long as that been?
...Ah, they like to think that they started the whole thing, and in many ways is its capital.
Oh.
