Beginning 1 January 2021, the United Kingdom will implement a new points-based immigration system under which all foreign nationals will earn points for specific skills, qualifications, salary levels, and employment in a shortage occupation. Most notably, however, the new regulations will also end the freedom of movement for EU nationals into the UK and eliminate the nation’s EU-specific immigration routes. These upcoming changes are some of the most significant amendments to UK immigration law in decades and will transform the way all foreign nationals come to live and work in the UK.

Join Newland Chase’s UK Managing Director Tony Butterworth and two Senior Civil Servants from the UK Home Office on 22 July as they present a special virtual town hall for employers.

Join Newland Chase leaders Jason Rogers and Edward Hu for our monthly examination of business travel and immigration for companies and their employees during COVID-19 and beyond.

Posted Worker regulations have become a hot topic of discussion in the European mobility industry. Yet another new Directive comes into effect from 30 July 2020, which will see further revisions to posted worker employment conditions (“equal pay for equal work”), and reductions in the assignment duration, during which only limited host country conditions need to be applied. There are now more implications than ever before to consider in your Global Mobility and HR programmes.

Join us as our experts clear up the often confusing requirements, looking at both immigration and employment law implications. We’ll be focusing on employment law impacts, the scope of postings from outside the EU and the implications of Brexit, as well as the key common obligations for employers and how to practically implement posted worker compliance in your business.

Amidst the continued global economic crisis and rising number of COVID-19 cases in the United States, multinational companies have struggled to manage both their domestic workforce and global mobility programs. As the immigration landscape rapidly shifts throughout the world, employers now face new challenges from President Trump’s recent nonimmigrant visa suspension and the anticipated travel bans from the European Union. This webinar will analyze the latest impacts these developments will have on both U.S. and global immigration programs.

Watch our webinar focused on the Top Four Emerging Trends you need to consider when restarting your mobility and travel programs. We will also provide regional COVID-19 updates and cover the most up-to-date news and announced policy changes.

After more than three years of uncertainty and speculation, we now finally know with certainty – the United Kingdom officially exited the European Union on January 31 at 11pm. However, that is by no means the end of the speculation. The UK has now entered an eleven-month “transition period” during which time much of its current status with the EU will remain in place. During this time, both sides will begin the arduous process of negotiating the details of the long-term relationship between the UK and the EU going forward after December 31, 2020.

Join our UK and EU immigration experts for this deep dive into the current status and guidance on visas and immigration for companies and employees during the transition period and beyond.
