Updates & resources
A letter to our clients
As the situation in the Middle East continues to evolve, organizations must make decisions about their impacted workforces. This includes whether to maintain temporary remote working arrangements or begin returning employees to the region, while still maintaining employee safety and wellbeing.
Organizations are planning next steps, looking for clear visibility on available options, and curious about how peers are approaching similar decisions.
At the same time, access to timely technical guidance on immigration, tax, and compliance remains important as workforce arrangements change.
This resource center is designed to support strategic planning by bringing together insights, market practices, and practical guidance to help organizations assess their options and plan accordingly.
In addition, our alerts continue to keep clients abreast of technical developments, providing timely updates on immigration, tax, travel, and compliance matters. We are adding our most recent alerts here, and you can see all of them collected on our Vialto Alerts website. You can also access our Rapid Redeployment Dashboard for key country information, detailed FAQs, and relevant updates.
While uncertainty remains, organizations are increasingly moving toward more structured, longer-term approaches, and we are here to support you in navigating this next phase with clarity and confidence.
Sincerely,
Sharan Kundi, Global Head of Immigration, Vialto
Impacts of the Middle East conflict on global mobility
The current conflict is having a significant impact on travel, immigration, and global mobility across parts of the Middle East. Security developments, airspace disruption, and consular service interruptions are affecting employee movement, business travel, and immigration processes, with implications for both employers and employees.
Employee safety: A volatile security environment may affect employee safety, mobility, and access to services in affected locations.
Business continuity: Regional disruption may affect business continuity through travel delays, operational uncertainty, and impacts to workforce mobility.
Visa and immigration requirements: Changing border conditions and reduced consular capacity may disrupt visa, passport, and immigration processes.
Travel disruption: Travel remains affected by airspace restrictions, cancellations, delays, rerouting, and limited commercial options.

Vialto's Sharan Kundi discusses the critical issues employers must consider as they develop strategies to support employee safety, relocate workforces successfully, and navigate issues around taxes, paying people, and remote work policies.
