Global Immigration: 2025 In Review

Clark Hill's Global Immigration practice guides corporate clients and individuals through complex global immigration challenges worldwide. We pride ourselves on creative, compliant and people-centered solutions – looking at global mobility from a wholistic perspective in an ever-changing immigration environment. Our team assists with short-term assignments, long-term relocations, consular processing, document procurement, document legalizations/apostilles, and business visas in 100+ countries worldwide.

Reviewing the major updates from 2025, we continue to see EMEA implementing tighter controls around immigration – specifically the entry and tracking of business visitors and tourists – while many countries are focusing on innovation and modernized processes to allow for faster visa issuance for skilled workers (to fill occupation shortages or secure new outstanding talent) and greater mobility.
