✋ 𝗬𝗼𝘂 𝗮𝘀𝗸𝗲𝗱 - 𝘄𝗲 𝗮𝗻𝘀𝘄𝗲𝗿! ✋ Visa matters can be tricky, especially for EU Blue Card holders wanting to work remotely in another EU country. Unfortunately, specific regulations addressing this scenario, where an EU Blue Card holder wishes to work remotely in another EU country while residing in a different EU member state, may not be explicitly outlined in national legislation or directives. 📌 We get these requests every day, here is our answer to whether the employee needs another visa: The EU Blue Card permits short-term travel within the Schengen Area. Since workations are considered privately motivated trips rather than business trips, your employee can stay in France without needing an additional visa, provided no business activities, such as visiting a local office or attending a conference, are conducted. While specific regulations for this scenario may not be outlined, the principles of freedom of movement and the EU Blue Card Directive support your position. Nevertheless, it never hurts to have a confirmation letter stating the fact that the employee will return to their employment country. Let WorkFlex take care of these documents for you with our automated compliance platform for workation, visa, and business travel. 🔍 Stay informed, stay compliant! #VisaServices #EUBLueCard #WorkFlex #Workation #ImmigrationLaw

📅 Starting June 11th, the cost of a Schengen Visa rose by 12%. Are you planning to travel to Europe this summer for pleasure or business? Here’s what you need to know ⬇ 𝐍𝐞𝐰 𝐎𝐟𝐟𝐢𝐜𝐢𝐚𝐥 𝐅𝐞𝐞𝐬 📈 • Adults: €80 ➡️ €90 • Children: €40 ➡️ €45 The fee for extending a Schengen visa will remain fixed at €30. 𝐖𝐡𝐲 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐅𝐞𝐞 𝐈𝐧𝐜𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐬𝐞? The European Commission reviews Schengen visa fees every three years, adjusting them based on factors like inflation and average civil servant salaries in member states. 📈 The latest increase was proposed on February 2, with strong support from member states. In comparison to the UK visa (starting at €134) and the US visa (starting around €185) it is still relatively cheap. 🔍 𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐢𝐬 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐒𝐜𝐡𝐞𝐧𝐠𝐞𝐧 𝐕𝐢𝐬𝐚? A Schengen visa is essential for non-EU citizens from countries that cannot benefit from the EU/Schengen Area’s 90-day visa-free rule (e.g., South Africa, India, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, China). It allows holders to visit any of the 28 Schengen countries for up to 90 days within a six-month period for tourism or family visits, but not for work. 🌐 𝐕𝐢𝐬𝐚-𝐅𝐫𝐞𝐞 𝐂𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐭𝐫𝐢𝐞𝐬 Citizens from the U.S., Canada, the UK, and Australia can travel to the Schengen Area visa-free for short stays (up to 90 days in any 180-day period). Longer stays or work purposes require a different type of visa from the specific country. 🛂 𝐍𝐞𝐞𝐝 𝐚𝐬𝐬𝐢𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐞 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐯𝐢𝐬𝐚 𝐚𝐩𝐩𝐥𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧?
