The Philippines has tightened its process for employing foreign nationals, introducing new rules which prioritize Filipino citizens and skill transfer from foreign employees.

Focus on Global Immigration Trends: Essential Insights for Employers in the US, Australia, and Singapore (16 April 2025)
Singapore, Australia and the US are taking distinct approaches to immigration policies, each with significant implications for employers. Singapore is balancing the attraction of highly skilled foreign talent with the need to prioritize local workers, potentially through stricter regulatory measures. In contrast, Australia's new visa program has expanded opportunities for foreign talent by allowing more occupations and requiring less work experience, and its existing program has cleared a more direct pathway for employer-sponsored permanent residency. In contrast, the US is adopting more restrictive measures, increasing immigration enforcement and shifting DOJ priorities to protect US workers from discrimination.
Restrictionist vs. Receptive: What employers need to know about immigration trends in the US and China (1 April 2025)
