During the past year, most immigration updates were usually linked to the Covid-19 travel restrictions. In this podcast, we try to focus on the recent and upcoming changes in the Belgian and EU landscapes, which are not related to Covid-19.
We have chosen two topics, which we find relevant for Belgian employers and international organizations to know, that will be discussed in this podcast. The first topic is the implementation of the Belgian search year residence card. As a second topic, we have chosen to discuss the Entry and Exit system and the European Travel Information and Authorisation system. These are new systems that will be operational in 2022 and have been introduced in order to strengthen the security checks on people crossing the Schengen borders.
The podcast will allow the listeners to better understand these upcoming changes, and eventually plan and organize their immigration and travel policies accordingly.
