James Guglielmo Hi James! From what I've read... Maybe... Some countries allow, others not. She would have to contact the PRO in her country and get permission from them. Then they would make her sign a waiver to dismiss them from representing her. Then before joining ASCAP/ BMI she would need to apply for the proper USA tax forms. Complicated, but possible. Best, John

Yes James,
I'm from New Zealand living in Fiji and am an ASCAP member.
The overseas HQ is based in Switzerland so I believe.
From what I recall, you just have to show that your work has been broadcast in the US and also fill out the tax declaration.
cheers, niteshift
