Global Financial Sector Immigration Services
The global financial services sector is often challenged by skill gaps in domestic markets. According to a 2016 PricewaterhouseCoopers report, 70% of the financial services CEOs identify that as a threat to their companies’ growth prospects. It is, therefore, crucial for them to move talent globally to where demand is, to sustain their businesses as well as stay ahead of competition.

Immigration and Global Financial Services: An Overview
The demand for foreign talent is rising in sectors requiring a highly skilled workforce, such as financial services and information technology. The financial services marketplace, including banks, insurance companies, investment advisers, and asset and wealth management firms have grown and globalised, with companies requiring strategies to compete for top finance talent.
A global mobility of talent can improve the ability of financial services companies to solve emerging business challenges effectively, enter fast-growing markets, and forge a global mindset necessary for corporate leaders today. It can be difficult to understand the nuances of immigration laws and policies. Not only the requirements for work visas and permits vary widely from country to country, they also vary depending on the company’s size and growth statistics, the job position, salary and benefits offered.
Immigration authorities carry out a rigorous review of both the employer and their potential foreign employees before accepting a work visa or permit application. Corporate immigration laws aim to reduce immigration or economic abuse. A strategy that aligns with the law can ensure full compliance with the respective country’s immigration rules.
It is highly recommended to consult with a business immigration lawyer even before you start designing your firm’s strategy for hiring foreign workers or international transfers. The IAS legal team has the required knowledge, competence, and experience to assist your business immigration requirements and support your sponsor licence application for hiring finance staff from overseas.
