We look at the challenges and opportunities arising in immigration in 2023 for HR and employers, including:

• the introduction of new visa types;
• an additional exemption to the immigration skills charge for senior or specialist workers;
• the importance of planning ahead to manage the impact of longer lead times;
• changes to right to work checks;
• benefits and issues arising from hybrid and remote working;
• managing sponsored workers when dealing with recruitment, restructures and redundancies; and
• trends and developments, including the anticipated Electronic Travel Authorisation system for EU nationals.
