Coronavirus, Travel & Visas: How Expats Navigate a Global Pandemic

It's a crazy time out there for those with visas and with legal and travel concerns, and I'm getting sent a LOT of questions from worried expats who want some advice. So on Thursday night. March 15, at 6pm ET I've got Doug in from Lightman Law Firm to try and answer some of those pressing issues on a live webinar that you can tune into.

Updated March 20: Webinar Embedded Below

I know that there are lots of you who read this website who are currently in between a very big rock and a very hard place. Unfortunately, there aren't answers to every question right now as the situation is still developing but we can, however, try out best to get the information you need put in front of you as readily as possible.

Doug has kindly offered his time to recap the current situation for expats, and those with travel plans and questions surrounding whether you will be admitted back into the United States, whether there are changes to visa programs, and what you can do without having to leave the country.

This information will be general in nature and may not be applicable to everyone's situation but it's always good to have as much information in front of you as possible.

You can submit questions when you sign up and we will do our best to provide information that will be relevant for everyone who is joining!
