The Global Mobility Handbook identifies the key global mobility issues to consider regardless of the countries involved. Although the issues are inevitably intertwined, the chapters separately deal with immigration, employment, employee benefits, and taxation. This handbook provides an executive summary, identifies key government agencies, and explains current trends before going into detail on visas appropriate for short-term business travel, training and employment assignments for 38 jurisdictions.
