What is Permits Foundation campaigning for?
Permits is advocating the improvement of work permit regulations for the spouses and partners of expatriate employees. Specifically, Permits wants legally resident spouses and partners to have an open permission to work during an expatriate assignment. Many countries require expatriate spouses or partners to have a separate work permit, even though they are legally resident. This is often difficult and time consuming to obtain. International companies and organisations are concerned about this in view of the growth of dual careers worldwide. They experience these additional work permit requirements as a hurdle to international mobility, diversity and equal opportunity.
