Warren,
Thank you for posting about finding information on international design work opportunities. The AIA has resources for members already living and/or practicing outside of the United States, as well as for those that are interested in entering international markets.
We encourage you to join the
AIA International Committee and check the
website often for new resources and opportunities. Below some links to get started:
- AIA International Check List
- Are you looking for an architectural job outside of the United States? Check the latest opportunities on the World Architecture News job board.
- U.S. Commercial Service's Global Design and Construction Team - Resources for Going Global
- The UIA Professional Practice Commission maintains a database on professional practice in many countries that are members of the UIA: Architectural Practice Around the World.
- U.S. Commercial Service offices can assist in finding information about local licensing and permitting, as well as host-country partners. Contact the Commercial Service Officer or the Economic Office at the U.S. embassy from this list of local US Commercial Service Offices.
- What are the International Copyright Risks of Working Aboard?
- Are You Facing Barriers Exporting Your Services?
The The U.S. Department of Commerce's Trade Compliance Center (TCC) helps American exporters and investors overcome foreign trade barriers and works to ensure that foreign countries comply with their trade agreement obligations to the United States. If you do business outside of the United States and need help addressing a foreign government trade or investment barrier, Report a Trade Barrier.
The AIA's overseas components are also great resources for networking and learning about practice in specific countries and regions. The AIA currently has five overseas components:
AIA Europe,
AIA Hong Kong,
AIA Japan,
AIA Middle East, and
AIA UK.
If you have any questions, feel free to contact me.
Best regards,
Theresa
