Globalization Partners Expands its Visa Sponsorship to 31 Countries Globally

Date

Share

Over a million people have fled the Ukraine to neighboring EU countries in the past week. Many more arrivals throughout the EU are expected in the coming weeks and months. Individuals’ primary concern is safety for themselves and their families, but eventually individuals who have left their home country will need options to continue to work and earn money for their families.  Financial sanctions are also having an immediate global economic impact and are limiting access to banking and financial institutions as well as creating swings in currency values.  Employers and employees are suddenly and urgently seeking alternative work solutions and payment solutions to help them manage this ever-changing situation.

Work Mobility and Visa Requirements

The pandemic accelerated the need to work remotely, and the current geopolitical crisis now highlights the need for visa solutions. In the current crisis, the immediate priority is for individuals to seek safety and even refugee status.  In the long term, visas will be a necessary part of the solution. Though many countries such as Poland, Ireland, and the UK are relaxing or adjusting their visa rules for Ukrainian refugees, and ETIAS is implementing a European Visa Waiver for Ukrainian citizens, these options tend to provide short-term stays. It is conceivable that more robust solutions will be needed to address the scale of the current humanitarian crisis.

Globalization Partners is working closely with our partners to monitor changing government policies related to remote working. We are also getting daily updates about individuals’ ability to obtain work permits in European countries. As of this writing, visas may still be required for long term stays, to work in-country, or to finalize permanent relocation/residency requests. In these cases, once an individual has reached safety and is considering their visa options, the Globalization Partners Visa Sponsorship solution may provide a quick and compliant option for employers wishing to support their team members as they relocate.

Managing a global visa and immigration program is daunting and hugely time consuming but at a time of crisis it needs to be quick, flexible, and compliant. Globalization Partners’ compliant employment platform offers an Employer Visa Sponsorship in 31 countries which may be an effective solution for many employers wishing to help their employees relocate.
