Important notes
• This document provides a snapshot of the policy changes that have been announced in jurisdictions
around the world in response to the COVID-19 crisis. It is designed to support conversations about
policies that have been proposed or implemented in key jurisdictions.
• Policy changes across the globe are being proposed and implemented on a daily basis. This document is
updated on an ongoing basis but not all entries will be up-to-date as the process moves forward. In
addition, not all jurisdictions are reflected in this document.
• Find the most current version of this tracker on ey.com.
• Please consult with your EY engagement team to check for new updates and new developments.
Page 2 Impact of COVID-19 on Global ImmigrationOverview/key issues
• With the crisis evolving at different stages globally, government authorities continue to implement
immigration-related measures to limit the spread of the COVID-19 pandemic and protect the health and
safety of individuals in and outside of their jurisdictions.
• Measures to stem the spread of COVID-19 include the following:
• Entry restrictions and heightened admission criteria for certain populations (including prohibitions on entry
from high-risk locations)
• Mandatory “stay-home notices” and quarantine orders for newly admitted citizens, residents and visitors
(whether in state facilities, hotels or private residences)
• Temporary suspension (and in some cases, permanent cancelation) of existing (valid) visas issued prior to
COVID-19 and suspension of issuance of new visas
• Introduction of heightened eligibility criteria and application requirements where visas are being issued
(including suspension of visa waiver agreements and enhanced document requirements for new applications)
• Some governments are announcing flexible policies to prevent temporary residents who are unable to
travel from becoming overstayers under immigration laws, and enabling virtual right to work.
