The White House has moved to overhaul the H-1B system by attaching a $100,000 yearly charge to each sponsored worker. Analysts say the policy could reshape hiring in the technology, finance, and consulting sectors. United States President Donald Trump signed a proclamation in Washington on September 19, 2025, introducing a $100,000 fee per year for companies sponsoring H-1B workers. The administration presented the charge as part of a broader shift to prioritize domestic hiring and to narrow use of the high-skill visa in entry-level roles. Officials familiar with the plan said the fee is intended to be annual, with discussions

Close to Soho and the iconic Oxford Street, this Croatian edition is proving popular in the UK capital city and one of the most important cities in Europe.

May the 10th, 2026 – There’s a Croatian island with only 3 residents that you can even swim to. Once there, you can spend the night in an absolutely beautiful old monastery. Hopping abroad a Jadrolinija ferry could take you from Split to Hvar, from Zadar to the incredible Kornati islands… and the list goes on (and on). If you take the ferry from Zadar to Preko (which will take about thirty minutes for just four euros), you can continue on to somewhere very unusual indeed.

May the 10th, 2026 – The Croatian labour market has been struggling for a while, needing to import third country nationals and constantly having to quickly fill gaps.
