The speakers gave an overview of recent and upcoming immigration regulations and manpower policies in ASEAN. They talked about the importance of understanding the shifting immigration landscape for businesses across countries as governments around the world continue to encourage businesses to resume international expansion and cross-border movements.
They also talked about more inviting immigration programs to reverse the previous COVID-19-related restrictions on immigration to promote and generate business and economic possibilities. They shared how, despite the fierce competition among nations to draw in foreign investments and highly trained workers, governments continue to prioritize and focus on compliance with immigration policies in a bid to ensure a balanced immigration approach.
