Amid tightening visa restrictions across traditional talent destinations, multinational companies are rethinking their global talent deployment strategies. Speaking with Global Mobility Lawyer, Vialto's Hugo Vijge highlighted why the EU is now standing out as a strong alternative for relocating skilled staff. In this feature, Hugo shares his views on how the EU’s evolving frameworks, including the revised Blue Card and ICT permit, are becoming strategic differentiators for employers navigating volatile policy environments elsewhere. Europe’s political stability and regulatory predictability are drawing interest from businesses in engineering, healthcare, IT, and beyond, especially as they look for reliable pathways to ensure business continuity. He also underscores a critical reality: while the EU’s intent is strong, fragmented national implementation still limits its full potential.
