As the demand for skilled IT talent grows, many companies rely on international hires to fill critical tech roles. However, work visa policies and immigration laws are constantly evolving, making it challenging for employers to navigate hiring processes.
At Akshayam Consulting, we help companies hire globally while ensuring visa compliance and smooth onboarding for international talent.
Key Work Visa Changes Employers Should Know in 2025
1. Increased Scrutiny on H-1B Visa Applications
The H-1B program is one of the most common routes for hiring international IT professionals. However, recent policy updates have led to:
🔹 Stricter eligibility requirements
🔹 Higher rejection rates
🔹 Increased demand for specialized skill sets
Tip: Employers should work with a staffing partner experienced in visa sponsorship and compliance to avoid delays.
2. Remote Work & Visa Compliance Challenges
As more companies embrace remote work, many don’t realize that work visa holders may have location restrictions. Employers must ensure:
Compliance with work location requirements
Proper documentation for remote work approvals
Tip: Before hiring a remote international worker, consult with immigration experts to prevent legal issues.
