Ward Hadaway Webinar: Essential HR Training

Join our expert Business Immigration team on Tuesday 25th February at 10am for our online ‘Essential HR Training’.

The rules governing what non-UK nationals can do when they travel to the UK as “business visitors”, are complicated and there are very serious consequences for both individuals and the businesses they are working for if they get it wrong. Over the last 12 months, there have been important changes to these rules, including an extension to the list of “permitted work-related activities”.

This training will focus on the new Electronic Travel Authorisation (“ETA”) scheme which will be fully rolled out in the UK by 2 April 2025, including for EU nationals. To avoid travel and business disruption, it is essential that businesses / individuals understand the requirements under the new ETA scheme.  We will provide in-depth guidance on this during the webinar, address potential issues that businesses / individuals need to be aware of and look at how to plan ahead. We will also be discussing who the ETA scheme applies to, the various implementation dates and the process to apply under the scheme.

This session is aimed at HR professionals, business owners and business leaders. It will be of particular interest for businesses with a global workforce who regularly travel to the UK for work related activities.

In this essential training session we will guide you through:

• How to utilise the business visitor route
• How to ensure compliance with the rules
• Practical tips on how to make sure you stay on the right side of the law
• Some of the tricky issues around what business visitors can and cannot do whilst in the UK
