For 2026 and beyond the new global immigration policy

 
  For this month's travel information blogspot, I've focused on something that may interest those who not only have special job skills, but would like to live a nomadic life that allows them to live very comfortably in countries they've always wanted to travel to, here is a brief how to do that "bucket list" while young for 2026 and beyond, much like the HGTV "International House Hunter",  you can.
  According to Google's AI, global immigration is more restrictive, and I'll paraphrase the analysis, for instance, in the USA and UK, while Canada is focusing on limiting economic migrants, Australia and Europe are picking skills based migration, nevertheless, now there is a growing trend, "nomad migrants" for skilled professionals, who can travel with special visas into a country, and when another country offers more money for their skills, they can decide to go there, the takeaway is the key trend in developed nations, restrictive, and focused on job skills.
  However, I have found a variety of websites to proclaim the restrictive trend globally, as well as offering predictions for beyond 2026.
  My research proves that the current administration's restrictive immigration policy is a global trend, and the emphasis is on job skills globally, too.
  What is a new wrinkle to the global immigration tale is the skills based nomad visa.
  There is no doubt that in the USA, politics is at the root of the opposition's championing of the non-skills migrant that is economics based, moreover, I've covered this aspect in another blog for that April blogspot, nonetheless, when immigration globally is now focusing on the skills migrant, in my opinion, the global trend is a predictor of the future when the politics of travel is no longer a factor that translates into a voting issue.
  Yet I was unable to find any website to back my future immigration prediction. 
  I did find a reference in Google's AI when I asked in my search engine's question slot, "… Geopolitical Strategy: Labour migration is being used as part of geopolitical strategy, such as the EU's development of skills partnerships and legal gateways in countries like India, merging foreign policy with labor needs…"
  Regardless, although this month's travel blog was not a travel topic informational for the average traveler, I wish you a travel future of making memories.]
  For example, I remember arriving in Paris on 1 April 1st, an "April fool's arrival, my luggage handle was missing, and I had my feisty Bichon Frieze to maneuver in his pet carrier through the cavernous Charles de Gaulle airport, then while I waited for the Airport shuttle bus, it started raining, my woes continued, when I arrived at my apt., the security code didn't work, but then, I was in Paris, where every day was a minute by minute.
  HAPPY TRAVELS!

What is the travel effect of the Iran war in 2026 and beyond?

  As expected, everything about travel, to include cruises were immediately affected by the Iran war, as is noted in the www.cnbc.com website, which for anyone wanting to making travel plans, is a signal that for the future as well, travel plans should be at least on a temporary hold.
  Another website, recommend.com posits that the Iran war would have a long term travel impact.
  And www.aol.com cites cancelled flights, and refers to another danger, debris from downed drones raining debris down from the skies that is a danger as well, to those who are not flying, which is a warning to anyone who is in the vicinity.
  I found another well known website, www.businesstravelnews.com, advising travelers who travel for business there will be a long term effect, mainly because a broader regional conflict will effect global travel even in areas where the war is not waged affected due to the actions of sympathizers, either for or against the war, plus the killing of the Iranian Supreme leader can cause someone to embark on a killing spree, for instance.
  Counting on insuring your advance travel plans with the usual travel insurance policy is not viable, those travel policies have an out for war.
  However, there is the CFAR policy, a cancel for any reason travel insurance, find the best CFAR policy for you in the www.forbes.com website, but after you check those out, I advise buying a CFAR policy from your trusted local insurance agent, they can give you the information as to whether the company is reliable and will insure your future trip if you cancel for any reason.
  Nonetheless, unless your future trip is a rock bottom bargain, you may find that the CFAR is too expensive, and you may decide to take a breather from a bucket list kind of travel until the debris of the Iranian missals settles into a landfill.
  In the meanwhile, take a staycation and look at your photos from last bucket travel trip, and when you do resume, I wish you HAPPY TRAVELS!
