Summary
The immigration update of September 25, 2025 highlights significant policy and legislative changes across several regions.

In Argentina, Decree 366/2025 introduced new obligations: proof of health insurance is now mandatory for temporary residents, including tourists and business visitors. Permanent residence applicants must show sufficient financial means and a clean criminal record, while permanent residents gain equal access to public healthcare and free university education alongside Argentine citizens. A valid local address must also be provided upon entry or when starting any immigration process.

In Mexico, since August 9, 2025, Ukrainian, Turkish, and Russian nationals are eligible to apply for an Electronic Visa to enter Mexico for short stays of up to 180 days for tourism, business, conferences, and other non-remunerated activities. Applications are processed online, and approved visas are issued with a QR code. If denied, applicants must apply in person at a consulate.

In the United States, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) clarified that the new USD 100,000 supplemental fee applies only to H-1B petitions filed on or after September 21, 2025, and not to renewals, extensions, or already approved petitions. Current visa holders are unaffected. Meanwhile, the Department of Labor (DOL) launched Project Firewall, signaling stricter enforcement of existing obligations for H-1B employers, with expanded investigations and interagency cooperation.

In the Asia-Pacific, New Zealand announced new Skilled Migrant Category residence pathways effective from August 2026. These include a Skilled Work Experience pathway for those with five years of relevant skilled work (two in New Zealand) and a Trades and Technician pathway for migrants with qualifications and at least four years of post-qualification experience (18 months in New Zealand). Work experience requirements are modestly reduced, and wage thresholds simplified, reflecting a focus on long-term contributions of skilled migrants.

In Europe, the Czech Republic will introduce stricter rules from October 1, 2025. Employers must notify the Labour Office no later than the day before a foreign national starts work; failure to comply could lead to fines up to CZK 3 million. Additionally, the notification period for Employee Card holders changing employers will be extended from 60 to 90 days, with transitional rules depending on the date of employment termination.

Overall, these changes reflect a trend toward tightening compliance and enforcement, while at the same time creating more tailored pathways to attract and retain skilled migrants.
