Disruption in global talent sourcing. Redefining value amid high costs. Intensifying immigration compliance risks.
These are the top challenges employers are facing as we enter 2026, and they are reshaping how companies think about their immigration and mobility strategies.
We invite you to join us for our Worldwide Immigration Trends Report Webinar on Thursday, 12 February, with a focused lens on the Asia Pacific region and the shifting regulatory and talent landscapes shaping them.
Our 2026 Worldwide Immigration Trends Report is designed to equip organisations with the tools to optimise workforce strategies, adapt to evolving global conditions and maintain a competitive edge. It is a vital resource for navigating today’s rapidly changing immigration landscape.
Moderated by Fragomen Chief Knowledge Officer Scott Leeb, Our panelists which include Fragomen Regional Partner - Asia Pacific, Mark Buchanan, and Fragomen Partners Kenneth Lau and Charles Johanes will cover the following points for each region:
Asia
- How geopolitical volatility, trade realignment, and supply-chain diversification are leading to the rise of Southeast Asia as a strategic talent and operations hub
- Increasing competition and regional war for talent over critical skills in technology and other skills-shortage sectors
- Rising cost of immigration and traditional assignments reshaping mobility decisions across Asia, particularly as companies seek to leverage lower-cost locations
- Increasingly complex compliance obligations across the full lifecycle of employment, from onboarding through departure
Pacific
- Political, economic and demographic drivers influencing immigration policy reform, and how this impacts talent and mobility programs
- Greater focus on enforcement, with increased scrutiny of applications, government audits and stricter penalties being imposed
We hope to see you there and encourage you to submit your questions in advance via the registration form.
