In this latest edition of our Immigration and Global Mobility Update, we explore new rules regulating quotas for residence and work permits, increases in salary thresholds for those permits, notification obligations for the end of foreign workers' employment, and much more.

Ireland has opened a public consultation process to review 'occupations lists' for employment permits, while Italy has preliminarily approved a Decree on migration flows for the period 2026–2028. Quotas for residence and work permits have recently been changed in the Czech Republic, with increases and decreases depending on the embassy location. In Belgium (Brussels region), a 'Labour Shortage Professions' list has been published.
