From September 28th to October 3rd, I will be traveling to Europe and the Middle East for an operational supply-chain trip, spending three days in Istanbul and three days in Athens.

Today, our marketing department gave me an interesting topic: If you had to permanently live in one country outside of your home country for the rest of your life, how would you choose?

For many professionals and business owners—particularly those based in robust, fast-moving markets like China—staying put makes complete operational and financial sense. Local market dynamics, established professional networks, and manageable living costs make home an ideal place to live and work. Yet, despite having no desire to leave, many still look for a secondary option.

In New Zealand, however, eligible postgraduate students do not necessarily have to choose between further education and staying together as a family. In recent years, more families have been looking at New Zealand’s student-dependent visa options for partners and children, allowing them to plan their move as a family. For these families, studying abroad becomes more than an individual educational opportunity — it can become a shared family decision.

When evaluating higher education abroad, the decision should extend far beyond university rankings. For families planning long-term global mobility, the primary objective is often finding a jurisdiction where a student can transition smoothly from graduation into local employment, permanent residency, and eventual citizenship.

For citizens outside the European Union, the administrative barriers to securing Swiss residency are exceptionally high

Germany’s immigration system is structured directly around talent attraction, providing clear routes from employment placement to Permanent Residency (PR)

Based on standard media reports, France is rarely viewed as an accessible immigration destination. However, after examining the legal framework closely, France is arguably one of the most underrated jurisdictions in global mobility.

Today, I would like to introduce a significant development for Globevisa: the official launch of our corporate immigration brand, Path Global, which took shape on September 1st.

It is easy to visit a country as a tourist and assume you understand its culture, but you are usually only observing the surface. To genuinely understand a location, you have to engage with the community directly, whether by working there or participating in local events.

My recent trip to Chamonix for the UTMB was defined as much by the people I met as by the ultramarathon itself. Over a few days, I encountered individuals making significant life pivots, proving that age and geographic familiarity are rarely the barriers we assume them to be.

On 8 August 2026, Immigration New Zealand announced changes to the Parent Resident Visa: from 5 October, around 90% of places will be allocated by queue order and 10% by ballot. What didn't change is the cap — still 2,500 approvals a year. With 7,931 EOIs covering 11,904 people already in the pool, clearing the backlog alone takes roughly five years.

According to data released by the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD), Indonesia attracted approximately USD 21.43 billion in foreign direct investment (FDI) in 2025, ranking second in Southeast Asia, behind only Singapore.

Unlike many mainstream traditional immigration programs, the South Africa Retired Person’s Visa does not require applicants to purchase property, make a large investment, or establish a business locally. Instead, it is a long-term residency pathway designed for individuals with stable retirement income or investment-based assets.

The Italy Elective Residence Visa, known in Italian as Residenza Elettiva, is a national long-stay visa for non-European Union nationals. Its legal foundation lies within Italy’s national visa framework, Interministerial Decree No. 850 of 11 May 2011, and the relevant rules governing the entry and residence of foreign nationals.

This update is entirely about my recent experience at the UTMB (Ultra-Trail du Mont-Blanc). It does not cover immigration policies or global business operations. I spent the past year preparing for this specific 174-kilometer race, completing various qualifying events and maintaining a strict training schedule to earn a spot at the starting line. Ultimately, I did not finish the race.

On August 21, 2026, the U.S. immigration legal landscape welcomed a major positive milestone. The U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York issued a final ruling: the "75-Country Immigrant Visa Ban" implemented by the administration in January 2026 has been officially declared unlawful and vacated.

This week, the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) published a brand-new proposed rule: an additional administrative fee of $103,265 is slated to be levied on select new H-1B visa petitions.

Globevisa Group today announced the appointment of Latha Olavatth as Chief Operating Officer of Path Global.

A question I frequently hear is how immigration can directly impact a child's education, and whether financial resources are the ultimate deciding factor for admission into top-tier universities.
