Immigration

In human resources (HR), immigration refers to the process by which individuals move from one country to another for the purpose of employment or residency. It often involves navigating complex legal and regulatory frameworks to secure the necessary visas and work permits that allow foreign nationals to work legally in a host country. HR professionals play a critical role in this process by ensuring compliance with immigration laws, managing documentation, and assisting employees with the transition to a new country. This includes understanding the specific requirements for different types of visas, facilitating relocation logistics, and providing support for the integration of expatriates into the organization and local community. Immigration can also encompass considerations related to diversity, equity, and inclusion, as companies seek to build a workforce that reflects a global talent pool.
