    Hey all, not super familiar with the tech side of this, but just got the notice from our HR consultant. Sounds like we’ll need to create a portal account ourselves now? Can someone confirm if that’s really mandatory for foreign employees too?

    United Kingdom: Electronic Travel Authorization (ETA) Requirement For Non-European Travelers Starting January 8, 2025

    I think Lindsay makes a harsh but fair point. However, isn’t it possible that these changes, despite being inconvenient, are aimed at managing and securing borders more effectively? Maybe it’s a bit of both - security and revenue. I'm no expert though, just pondering out loud here.

    Navigating The Greek Digital Nomad Visa: A Guide For Remote Workers

    Haha, good point! But honestly, I think the six-month lease is to show commitment. Greece is probably trying to avoid people applying just to hop around.

    The Impact Of Artificial Intelligence On Immigration Systems: Opportunities And Challenges

    The iris scanner in Dubai is definitely efficient, but like any tech, it’s not foolproof. There have been cases where it couldn’t read someone’s iris properly, leading to delays. It’s still a new system, so there are bound to be some hiccups.

    UAE Prioritizes Nationals With Private Sector Experience For Public Sector Jobs

    It’s a valid concern, Jennifer. Fresh graduates might need to adapt by seeking initial roles in the private sector to build up experience before transitioning to public roles. It could be a bit of a challenge at first.
