海外 **にまで** 知られ始める。does the に work here as "by"? (人 **に** 変だと言われる- this kind of
に? like it works usually with passive verbs?) and まで just strenghtens it? Am i
right, or am i missing something? i've never seen にまで

question
grammar particles
what is the usage にまで?
That まで in this case means "even/to the point of".

For examples:

> 彼女が好きすぎて、足の匂いまで嗅ぎたくなります

> I like my girlfriend too much that I even started wanting to smell her
> feet's odor.

As you can see, it expresses an hyperbole.

にまで is just combining に and まで.

All in all, your sentence means:

> 海外にまで知られ始める

> To start being known **even** overseas.
