2026-2030 Immigration Trends: How will mobility change?
Immigration is changing fast. Over the next five years, systems are expected to become more selective, more compliance-heavy and more closely tied to skills, investment and economic value. For employers, that means immigration is reaching further into workforce planning, sponsorship, payroll and risk.
The article, drawing on immigration specialists from four continents, looks at six themes shaping this shift, from tighter compliance and diverging rules across Europe to premium talent pathways, digital enforcement in APAC and the growing use of alternatives to the traditional expat move.
Read the article now to see how immigration may change from 2026 to 2030.
2026 Expat Survey
Bringing together input from over 1,000 global expats, this survey looks at how things like cultural challenges and raising children overseas are changing. The results may surprise you and your assignees, and help shape your mobility program accordingly. Download it here.
Key findings:
- Cultural adaptation is getting harder: 65% of expats find adjusting to a new culture difficult, especially those who have relocated multiple times. We ask why.
- Tech is a double-edged sword: 70% of expats struggled to adapt to new tech ecosystems, particularly in societies with an emphasis on “going cashless”. Does this reflect the widely reported “tech bifurcation” we are increasingly seeing?
- Sustainability in moving: Over half of expats have taken steps to make their move more environmentally friendly, from using recycled packing materials to minimizing waste.
- Children, however, are adjusting well: 86% of expat parents report that their children have settled into their new environments smoothly.
