Global Mobility

Whether you’re sending your first employee abroad or maintaining existing operations in multiple countries, managing all aspects of global mobility – from visas to compensation and tax compliance to expat repatriation – only becomes more complicated as organisations grow. As a result, even large and established companies usually turn to third-party experts for guidance.​​

At Vistra, we have teams of advisers who can provide authoritative information and recommendations on all aspects of global mobility. Not only do we provide practical, actionable advice about compliance obligations, we also act as an extension of your HR, finance and tax teams. We give you everything you need to establish and maintain a global mobility programme that lowers your risks and helps you attract, retain and protect top talent.​​

Our services include developing global mobility policies around all relevant types of expat assignments, from frequent short-term business visits to long-term assignments as well as developing and implementing compensation schemes, such as tax equalisation policies, to protect expat employees against potential tax and cost-of-living increases.

Our team of experts also provide advice on relocating expatriate dependents. We support across all required services from ensuring that income tax and social security obligations are understood and fulfilled in the home and host countries and obtaining visas and work permits, and providing advice on visa sponsorship to establishing shadow payrolls to ensure tax and social security compliance in the home and host countries.​

Insights - Global Mobility

Whether you’re thinking about international expansion for the first time or are experienced at maintaining operations in multiple countries, there’s a strong chance you’ll benefit from this comprehensive review of cross-border considerations.
Preparing employees for an assignment abroad is essential for their success. In addition to providing cultural training and information about visas, taxes and housing, your company’s global mobility policy should warn them about another matter: medical exams.
Remote work is rapidly becoming an expectation, not a perk. While the practice was a necessity for many organisations during the pandemic, companies and employees alike have embraced the trend.
Companies have always employed a contingent of remote workers abroad, including expatriates on long-term assignments, home office workers sent for temporary duties or local nationals with on-the-ground expertise.
The coronavirus pandemic has affected countries around the globe. To control transmission, most have imposed various travel restrictions. These have affected short- and long-term business travel and will continue to create new challenges for travellers and their employers for the foreseeable future.
