Visa and Immigration Updates
This week’s big news
Italy-Japan Working Holiday
For any Italian and Japanese citizens out there, as of April 2026, there is now an agreement in force between the two countries that allows the citizens of each country to live in the other country for up to a year (and work for up to 6 months). Here’s to hoping more of these agreements pop up between other countries!
Romania Digitizes Visa Process for Non-EU Workers
Romania is overhauling it’s immigration framework for non-EU citizens by introducing a digitalized system (expected Aug 8, 2026) to replace traditional work permits. They have also lowered the quota for non-EU workers while at the same time aligning with EU-wide standards in an effort to attract highly skilled talent. It’s worth keeping an eye on these updates in Romania. More to come.
