Transforming Talent: Unlocking the Power of Essential HR Training with Ward Hadaway

Join our specialized Business Immigration team on Tuesday, 25th February at 10am for our online ‘Essential HR Training’.

The regulations governing the actions of non-UK citizens when visiting the UK as “business visitors” are intricate, with significant repercussions for both the individuals involved and the organizations they represent if misapplied. In the last year, substantial updates have been made to these regulations, including an expansion of the “permissible work-related activities” list.

This training will emphasize the new Electronic Travel Authorisation (“ETA”) system, which is set to be fully implemented in the UK by 2 April 2025, applicable to EU nationals as well. To prevent disruptions in travel and business operations, it is crucial for businesses and individuals to comprehend the requirements pertaining to the new ETA system. We will deliver thorough guidance on this during the webinar, address potential challenges that businesses and individuals should be mindful of, and explore future planning strategies. Additionally, we will discuss whom the ETA system pertains to, the various implementation timelines, and the application process for the scheme.

This session targets HR professionals, entrepreneurs, and business leaders. It will particularly resonate with organizations that possess a global workforce traveling to the UK frequently for work-related purposes.

In this vital training session, we will walk you through:

• How to leverage the business visitor route
• How to maintain compliance with the regulations
• Practical advice on ensuring you stay within legal boundaries
• Some complicated matters concerning what business visitors may and may not engage in while in the UK
