Global: Expatriate Living Abroad can be SUCCESSFUL!
Expatriate Living in another country has a lot of challenges and opportunities. It entails many tasks that you have never come across unless you have a prior experience, however essential. If you are a green horn in the expatriate community you are challenged with identifying the right information. Yes the internet is widely open and you can find anything but the main point is... which ones are correct and which ones are not; "most prevalent practice is to bite your teeth and hope for the best!"
Many things are involved when you uproot yourself from your current living location to another part of the world. There are visas to enter and for employment purposes, current home management, transporting personal stuff, deficiency of cultural knowledge, favorite food, new home, temporary living style and convenience, hobbies, pets, driving license, bank account, medical information and sources, personal insurance, dependents comfort-ability, period of adjustments, survival coping skills and many more.
How and what are the best way to implement expatriate plans? Approach an experienced individual with this kind of lifestyle. Or make a search of an experienced Global Human Capital Consultant with successful experiences in global mobility management. Both types of individuals can provide you an experiential learnings about Expatriate Living abroad. Inquire about the challenges, the advantges and disadvantages. Identify to yourself the value of this experience for your personal fulfillment or growth. Set a short term goal and long term goal as both will help you achieve a balance to your lifestyle being an Expat inlcuding your family members (where applicable).
Dependents are crucial pieces of Expatriate Living. One of the most effective tool that make dependents happier is the implementation of a Cross Cultural Training to all parties. This will provide a pre-transitional adjustments and setting up of expectations. It will facilitate a better behavioral approach to adjustments. If the family member is happy - the expat can concentrate on job functions rather than easing up family's discomforts.
There are expats who were assisted with their relocations by third party companies procured by their Human Resources Department. These companies were meant to ease the challenges of every aspect of the international relocation and transitional lifestyle of the Expat. Experiences of an Expat and family members varies based on the level of service procured and provided by his/her employer. At certain aspects there were shortcomings of the service providers that were authorized by their employer. This is because of inexperience about the entire global mobility management. Oftentimes, companies cut corners and employ admin assistant type equivalents of personnel instead of a strategic experienced consultant. They like to present themselves as Specialist in the global mobility management area but the experience of their staff does not reflect that. However, the main frustration of the Expat and HR Manager - they only find out of the inexperience of such entity when the employee is on-board to relocate. The agreement has been signed and money has been disbursed. Cancelling the engagement is too late. When these arise - it creates a multitude of stress among relocating parties involved. Oversight of these issues can be avoided when working with experienced and strategic consultants in Global Mobility Management and in Global Human Capital Management. This type of professional who has executed both functions within the strategic international HR and external international services HR will definitely give you the best guidance and hand-holdings.
Returned Expatriate and their families can add valuable information to you. Seek out someone who has been in the country where you will be assigned or working. "The best teacher is experience."

USA: TN Visas for Nationals of Canada and Mexico
Recently, the USCIS (United States Citizens and Immigration Services) announced the expansion of the Trade NAFTA (TN) Nonimmigrant Visa Program for professional workers from Canada and Mexico.
The annual extension of a TN Visa by a professional worker from Canada and Mexico has been changed to an increment of every 3 years. This expansion of the program will now be the same as the H1B Nonimmigrant Visa professional worker.
What This Means to TN Visa Holders? There are Five Highlights.
First, Any professional worker from either Canada and Mexico can now request for an extension of their TN Visa with an increment of three years instead of the usual annual extension.
Second, Workers must be advised to request for their three years extension when it is time to renew their TN Nonimmigrant Visa.
Third, Workers will now enjoy a once in every three years interruption from their job in regards to renewing their TN Visa.
Fourth, They can fully concentrate on their job function within three consecutive three years without getting bothered with their visa expiration date and renewals, thereby supporting the business goals and objectives of their employer.
Fifth, Increased productivity and Return On Investment.
What this means to an Employer? There are Four Highlights.
First, Each employer that sponsors TN Nonimmigrant Visa for professional worker from Canada or Mexico can experience a longer ease of visa renewals for their workers. This will advocate a better strategic approach, timing and calendaring of the TN Visa compliance which will expire every three years instead of every year.
Second, This facilitates higher retention and productivity of the TN Visa Holders, who are member of the workforce.
Third, This provides two years of savings of the usual Immigration Counsel's Fees and TN Application Fee, in addition to the Return on Investments from hiring the workers.
Fourth, This will advocate a better prospect in hiring professionals from Canada and Mexico to augment the shortage of technical and professional workers in the United States. TN Visas are adequate.
Observations:
With the current economy and its challenges, Employers must consider hiring through the benefits of TN Visa Program offers. This is a great value add to your organization.
When you need assistance in developing a TN Visa Program for your strategic recruitment of a foreign workforce. Please contact JNT Consulting LLC and we will develop and assist you with the implementation of the program and coach you in its administration.
JNT Consulting has a 100 percent success rate in a TN Visa Program consultation and management.

Global: International Updates: What's Happening?
Australia: International Trade
Recently, the Australian Business International Trade Services outlined several items to be considered when setting up a business in China.
Ms. Sara Cheng, Manager for Greater China, Australian Business International Trade Services identified that "Business set-up in China is a big project by itself, which requires financial and time commitments, business management knowledge and China expertise. Identifying a competent agent to manage the complex process will be a cost and time effective way to avoid potential pitfalls." Details about the Article is available at this link.
On another article, it illustrated the requirements about registering a company in China.
Ref: NSW Business Center, http://www.nswbusinesschamber.com.au/
Brazil: Experiencing Economic Growth
More and more international companies are opening their operations in the many cities of Brazil. This means that young professionals who would have planned to go abroad and search their international employment opportunities are staying in country.
There were indications as well that Brazilans who were living abroad are now returning to Brazil as there are employment opportunities that require their professional experience and qualifications.
Canada: Relaxed Visas and Opportunities for Permanent Residency
Recently, Diane Finley, Immigration Minister of Canada announced that "International students and skilled workers would be more likely to choose Canada if they knew their time and contribution to Canadian Society would assist in their eligibility to apply to stay permanently".
The Canadian government is in progress of establishing a programme that will facilitate the permanent residency of international skilled workers and students. It is hoped that this programme will come into effect in October.
Requirements for candidacy are: Professional experience, past education, English and or French Speaking Proficiency.
Strategic Observation: This initiative will surely increase human capital assets of Canada and will contribute to economic sustainability of the country.
China: Post Olympic
The logistical operations in Beijing are now returning to normal after the completion of the Olympics that was hosted by Beijing in the past weeks. However, the guidelines that were implemented prior to the Olympics are still in forced up to September 20th 2008.
Any inbound and outbound shipment in Beijing are still in strict and mandatory customs inspections. Deliveries of shipments are using shuttles and shuttle fees apply. These restrictions to operate trucks in the areas identified have caused backlog in Tianjin which most likely increased demurrage fees. It was initially announced that everything will resume normal after September 20th 2008.
Strategic Observations: If you have shipments that are anticipated to arrive or being delivered sooner than September 20th - don't panic as they will reach your destination a little longer that the normal calendar days. Most likely it will get delivered after Sept 20th or so.
Georgia: Cargo Delays and Travels
As an effect of the recent attacks in Georgia, there is a big disruption of cargo shipments deliveries. The international airport in Tbilisi has been temporarily avoided by international airlines. Officials are hopeful that it will only last for a week.
Jebel Ali, UAE - Delays Caused by Traffic
The Post in Jebel Ali in UAE is currently experiencing great delays of loading and offloading cargos due near full capacity operation. The delays affected ships from Asia and Europe that were meant to offload in Dubai Port. This port is the gateway access to the internal routes of the country such as air and sea transportation network.
Larger ships that can carry 8,000 containers at a time has to wait 24 to 30 hours in the queue in order to offload. Smaller ships has a longer waiting time as much as 90 hours.
Strategic Observations: You might consider the time element as an impact to the above consequences when shipping to any location that will pass through Dubai Port.
Kazakhstan: Foreign Citizens Registration
It is important that foreign citizens arriving in this country must register with the Police or with a License Hotel within 5 calendar days of arrival.
Foreign labor market and economic quota requirements will become available in December 2008.
Suggestions: Before you travel to Kasakhtan you will need to verify whether your hotel is Licensed for Registration of Foreign Citizens. In that way, you will strategically plan your time ahead.
Philippines: Angara at the Forum by Global Leadership for Climate Action
In Denver, Colorado, USA – Sen. Edgardo J. Angara told a forum here that fresh initiatives to combat climate change should likewise deal with the food shortages and poverty in developing countries, two grave problems in the developing world that are aggravated by extreme climatic shifts.
Angara made the call at a forum jointly hosted by the Club de Madrid, which is chaired by former US President Bill Clinton, and the Global Leadership for Climate Action, a United Nations Foundation founded by CNN founder Ted Turner. Angara was the only Filipino leader in that forum.
Angara said; "that violent typhoons and record-breaking monsoon rains have crippled rice and corn production in Southeast Asia. Extreme weather events have also turned rice production deltas in the region into watery graveyards for those killed by savage flooding."

Moscow: Russian Work Permits
The Moscow Federal Migration Service stopped accepting application for foreign work permits as of last week, per JNT Consulting’s Service Partner based in Moscow. The Migration Services did not specify the reasons for this action.
A similar suspension took place in September 2007 when local branches of the Federal Labor and Employment Services unexpectedly stopped accepting new applications. It was made clear later that it was due to quota issues.
Per recent reports, the Migration Service ordered the suspension as a part of the internal re-structuring, and it nearly filled the annual quota of work permits for foreigners based in Moscow. The quota per year is about 105,000 for non-CIS (Commonwealth of Independent States) citizens. It is not clear whether the suspension will affect all foreigners or just those from Non-CIS countries.
Applications submitted before May 26th will be processed. It is not clear how long the suspension will last. This means that Moscow-based companies cannot apply for work permits for their foreign employees. With the re-occurrence of similar problems it will become an operational and staffing challenge in the near future.
FYI: Upon arrival in Russian soil within 72 hours (excluding non-working days) you must register your visa. Without registering within the time frame you are risking yourself for penalties. Upon leaving the country you must un-register yourself and re-register upon return.
For any questions and guidance please contact: info@jntconsulting.com
