New Work Visa Rules Could Hinder Expats
Jobseekers could find it harder to land expat assignments as the US, Australia and New Zealand bring in new expat visa rules. Temporary skilled worker laws are facing change. Australia announced that the Temporary Work (Skilled) visa (known as the 457 visa) will be abolished and replaced with a new Temporary Skill Shortage (TSS) visa in March 2018. New Zealand has similarly changed its visa rules. It has said it will tighten access to its skilled work visas. The USA has put in place multiple measures to deter and detect work visa fraud and abuse.  |

Expats: How To Select An International School
Moving to a new job, a new town, a new country - effectively a new life - is challenging. Add in the fear and guilt that you are disrupting your children's lives, that they may struggle to adapt, and your anxiety and stress levels soar. Although local schools offer the best opportunity to learn the local language, as well as experiencing the indigenous culture and lifestyle, most expat parents opt for the more familiar experience, and more expensive option of international schools. |
