BAL Analysis: The new regulations will have a major impact on businesses, who should anticipate additional inconvenience and costs. This is particularly true given the new requirements to obtain work permits instead of business visas for simple business meetings held in offices and the additional requirements for foreign workers on long-term assignments in the country.
