The global response to COVID-19 continues to impact international business travel and assignment plans. Many countries have implemented entry and exit restrictions, halted visa and work permit issuance, closed ports, and tightened quarantine rules in an attempt to slow the spread of COVID-19. After nearly three months of restrictions, however, some countries are starting to “re-open” with announced plans to resume immigration processes in the coming weeks and months.
Join our senior business travel and global immigration leaders Sophy King and Jason Rogers as they examine the impacts for companies and employees during COVID-19 and beyond.
