The one form Ive never seen a producer fill out, even with US based models is the I-9 Employment Eligibility Verification

Not sure how it is in USA, but here in Europe, modelling/acting and other "artistic" activities fall under "free businesses" - a form of self employment where you don't need any license, so working with these persons does not mean employment, nor do they need licenses.
These persons doesn't need work visas / work permits if they don't plan to stay longer than 90 days in the Schengen area. This only applies to persons that don't have any employment contract. There may be differences depending on the model's country of origin though, I have checked Ukraine for this example.
