As we celebrate Pride Month, Steve Diehl reflects on what this time means, not just as CEO of CIBT, but as a gay man.

Pride is a celebration of the courage and resilience of LGBTQ people who pushed for a more open world. The progress we’ve made is real and worth honoring.

But Pride is also a reminder that progress does not hold itself.

Rights and protections that once felt secure are being questioned again, and for many LGBTQ people, especially transgender people, this has brought real fear and uncertainty.

That is why Pride still matters. It is a chance to show up for each other and to stay committed to inclusion even when it is hard.

The Philippines has centralized Alien Employment Permit (AEP) processing under the Department of Labor and Employment (DOLE) Central Office, effective June 9, 2026.

Under the new process, all AEP applications and renewals must be submitted directly to the Bureau of Local Employment (BLE). While pending applications will continue to be processed, employers should anticipate potential delays as records and cases are transferred from regional offices during the transition.

We’re proud to share that Dani Lima, Co-Chair, Newland Chase, will be speaking at the 2026 AILA/GMS Annual Global Migration Forum in San Diego.

This year’s forum brings together global practitioners to examine how migration is being reshaped by geopolitical realignment, technological change, and shifting national priorities. Against the backdrop of one of America’s most dynamic border regions, the discussion will focus on where global mobility is headed and how professionals can navigate an increasingly complex legal and geopolitical landscape.

We look forward to Dani contributing her perspective alongside leading voices in the field.

Sweden has confirmed the final occupation lists tied to its new work permit salary threshold rules under recent labor immigration reforms.

The Swedish Migration Agency will apply a new minimum salary threshold of 90% of the Swedish median salary from June 1, 2026, with selected occupations exempted and subject to a lower threshold of 75%. In addition, two occupations have been fully excluded from work permit eligibility.

The changes also introduce new employer reporting obligations and will apply to both new and pending applications, meaning employers should reassess ongoing and planned sponsorship cases immediately.

Ireland has unveiled a new Temporary Protection Transition Scheme designed to support individuals currently residing in the country under Temporary Protection as the program approaches its expiry.

The new pathway will introduce a Stamp 4 permission, allowing eligible individuals to live and work in Ireland without the need for an Employment Permit. Residence under the scheme will also count toward Irish citizenship eligibility, creating a potential long-term residence pathway for qualifying applicants and their families.

For employers, the announcement provides early visibility into Ireland’s post-Temporary Protection framework and an opportunity to assess workforce eligibility ahead of the expected application launch in September 2026.

Switzerland is taking steps to strengthen workforce integration and address ongoing labor shortages through proposed immigration and employment reforms.

The measures would improve labor market access for beneficiaries of protection status S while also creating new opportunities for internationally trained talent. Proposed changes include a six-month post-graduation job-search period for certain graduates and simplified access to the labor market for eligible third-country nationals who complete higher vocational training or postdoctoral programs in Switzerland.

The reforms reflect Switzerland’s continued focus on retaining skilled talent and supporting long-term workforce needs.

Ireland has announced a series of updates to its Employment Permit Occupation Lists aimed at helping employers address ongoing skills and labor shortages across key industries.

The changes include new additions to the Critical Skills Occupations List, expanded eligibility for General Employment Permits, new and renewed permit quotas, and a planned review of the 50:50 workforce rule.
