To no one in particular, on ANY show, wherever they’re shooting, the person doing the “acting” only gets paid if they are legal to work in that country. On a temporary basis, sometimes they get temporary work visas. There is no rule about anyone getting paid or not getting paid but for what I’ve just said. And no one gets paid until the end and no one gets someone else’s “share”. It’s pretty cut and dried. Legal? Paid. Not? Won’t.
Further, they also only get paid for the number of episodes they actually show up in. These people can be filming for months, 12+ hours a day. After putting all that effort in, your story could still mostly end up on the cutting room floor.
Your thinking about 90 day fiance.
In the other way they are in the foreigner’s home country so it’s legal to pay them and they do.
