[Global Immigration Insights #19] Global immigration assignments explained & Upcoming H1-B Cap alternative webinar

Morning all - If you’re reading this and are dealing with applicants not being selected in the H-1B Cap lottery, my thoughts are with you! I hope this Insight’s newsletter will help you.

Today we have no country specific news. Instead, I’m sharing my latest blog post on the 7 types of global immigration assignments. If you’re looking for H-1B Cap Alternatives, I’m holding a LinkedIn Live webinar you can RSVP for on April 17.

7 Types of Global Immigration Assignments

When considering how to move your talent around the world, it is important to know that there are many different ways to go about it. From an immigration perspective, there are many different immigration categories and visa types but first off it is helpful to know the larger “bucket” that your assignment falls under. ?

First off, global assignments come in different sizes which means you can utilize different immigration categories depending on the purpose and duration of the international travel, your company policies and the preference of the employee. We outline a few of these below for reference.

However, the available immigration categories, requirements and timing depend on the country that is going to host your employee NOT on your preference or business needs. That means what might be an attractive option in India may not be available in France. What is a straightforward work permit application in Sweden may require 7 police clearances and a medical exam in South Africa!

Here are some different categories of immigration assignments a.k.a travel for work purposes that should form part of a global mobility strategy.
