This workshop will explore the key communication challenges faced by businesses in the new environment and provide strategies to overcome them.

    15:35 - Update from CIBT on the latest changes in entry requirements

    2022 Q1 saw a world still very much in the midst of a global pandemic. Numerous international borders remained closed, significant trade and travel corridors had only recently reopened, with concessions in both immigration and visa rules that were inexorably linked to the early stages of a world in pandemic. The world in 2023 Q1 is very different. We have reviewed over seventy changes in policy, procedure and process in both immigration and travel and will provide you with a short update.

    Speaker:

    Carsten Ostberg, Chief Strategy Office, CIBTvisas
