While the European Union gives the impression of Europe as a single bloc, from an immigration and mobility standpoint, many divisions still exist. The Schengen Zone, EU, EEA, and EFTA are each made up of different members and have different procedures governing entry and mobility. Add to that the recent changes caused by Brexit, it is no wonder that mobility managers are confused about the immigration rules and regulations surrounding travel within Europe. Our upcoming webinar will navigate the maze of rules regulating mobility in Europe, by defining each governing body and how their rules affect mobility.

As a result of the pandemic, many employees showed that their productivity remained the same while they worked from home. Some companies are now looking to incorporate a “work-from-anywhere” policy to retain and attract talent. Understanding the legal requirements before implementing such policies will be crucial for companies to ensure they avoid potential compliance issues in jurisdictions where work-from-anywhere employees are based. This live webinar explores the feasibility of work-from-anywhere policies in the APAC region, focusing on countries including Singapore, Thailand, Philippines, and Sri Lanka. The panelists will focus on key points to consider before implementing a work-from-anywhere policy in APAC, countries that have introduced Digital Nomad Visas and existing visa options that may apply to remote workers in the absence of Digital Nomad Visas.
