Southeast Asia

Southeast Asia offers year-round work across beach bars, hotel entertainment programmes, and expat-oriented venues. Thailand, the Philippines, Vietnam, and Singapore are the primary markets. Singapore pays at Western rates; other markets pay lower but living costs are significantly reduced. The region's Irish pub network is well-developed and actively recruits European performers. Visa requirements vary significantly by country — short-term work is often on tourist visas, which carries legal risk in some jurisdictions.
