The Immigration and Global Mobility Update shows the changes in global mobility and immigration from around the world over the past few months. We aim to update you regularly.

Effective from 1 July 2018, a country-wide list of nearly 40 highly demanding jobs across various industries (including IT, construction, healthcare and transportation) has been adopted, for which it is now easier to obtain a work permit. In the case of these jobs, it is no longer necessary to complete a ‘labour market test’. This is a clearance issued by the employment office confirming the lack of eligible candidates in registers of unemployed persons and it is normally required before a work permit can be obtained.
