About Permits Foundation

We are an independent, not-for-profit organisation campaigning globally to improve work permit regulations to make it easier for partners of expatriate staff to gain employment during an international assignment. Since our start-up in 2001, we have been progressively successful in influencing change globally, for example, throughout the European Union as well as in the USA and Asia (Hong Kong, India, Japan and Malaysia). Almost 30 countries now allow accompanying spouses or partners to work. We continue to promote best practice and monitor legislative improvements in all these countries as well as setting up new projects (most recently in Brazil and Indonesia) in our global campaign. Our surveys show that governments that allow partners to work will attract highly skilled employees who are associated with international business, investment and development, making a ‘triple win’ for host countries, employers and families alike.
