An international personal assistant refers either to someone who provides assistance to a client when they travel abroad, or to a personal assistant who works from another country remotely. If you are a personal assistant who travels with a client or employer overseas, your duties include running errands, coordinating your client's schedule, making contact with associates or co-workers in other countries, and ensuring that your client can attend all of their appointments. If you are a virtual PA who works from another country remotely, your duties are similar, but you do not travel with your clients.
