    Japan To Implement Mandatory Tuberculosis Screening For Certain Visa Applicants

    This might be a good idea for Japan, but for people already juggling multiple documents and deadlines, it’s another layer of stress. Not everyone lives near a designated clinic, especially in Nepal or Vietnam. It’ll make it harder for people with fewer resources to qualify.

    Canada’s 2025 International Student Cap: Key Changes And Implications

    United Kingdom: Electronic Travel Authorization (ETA) Requirement For Non-European Travelers Starting January 8, 2025

    I’m already seeing expats in my circle discussing plans to leave Egypt because of this. It’s not just about the fee—it’s about the message it sends. Feels like foreign talent isn’t as valued anymore.

    Celebrating Citizenship: Pathways To Becoming A U.S. Citizen

    I don’t know about all this optimism. The U.S. tax obligations on worldwide income are a nightmare, especially for those who want to live abroad. It’s not all sunshine and rainbows.

    Transitioning From An S-Permit To A B-Permit In Switzerland: What To Expect In 2025

    No chance, Hannah. This is all about control. And for anyone hoping Lithuania and Poland can offer full solutions—think again. Their measures only apply to residents. Everyone else is still stuck.

    The Evolution Of Online Dating: Impact On Modern Relationships
