Update on UK company registration regulations.

Update on UK company registration regulations.

The UK is tightening regulations once again this year, with a particular focus on virtual address providers for local companies. These providers have already introduced additional verification requirements for company owners and directors. This autumn, mandatory verification practices will also extend to company registrations with Companies House. However, enhanced verification procedures for obtaining virtual offices are becoming a global trend, reflecting a broader push for increased transparency and compliance.

Black Friday Sales

According to various expert sources, more than half of all offers on 11.11, Black Friday and Cyber ​​Monday sales are fake. The trend is not new – sellers often inflate the prices of their goods first, in order to indicate a more attractive discount later, but in the current difficult economic situation in the world, this has become commonplace. Experts recommend using special plugins to track price changes on online platforms, and in stores, do not rush to buy, having previously compared the price of the product you like with other offers on the Internet.

New EU Visa Waiver

The EU is planning to introduce a €7 visa waiver for some non-EU citizens, including Britons, by summer 2025. The waiver will cover travel to the Schengen area, which includes every EU state except for Ireland, Cyprus, Iceland, Liechtenstein, Norway and Switzerland. People from other non-EU countries (including the UK), will need to apply for a waiver before travelling to 30 countries in Europe.

Vacation period choices

The first month of summer is coming to an end and the main vacation period begins. Which destinations are considered the most attractive and for what reasons? We studied the ratings of the most trusted sites, coming to the conclusion that European countries are ahead by a large margin in popularity. Surprisingly, Paris is still in first place among all cities. The capital of France currently has many problems, but the romanticized image of the city still attracts the largest number of tourists from all over the world. Resorts like Bora Bora, the Maldives and Bali are still impressively popular. The most amazing breakthrough occurred in the Asian sector. Thanks to its technological advancement and the global rise in popularity of video games, manga and anime, Japan took third place in most rankings. And China surprised everyone the most – for the first time in a very long time, the country made significant concessions in obtaining tourist visas for Europeans and, which came as a surprise, for US citizens. This attracted the largest number of tourists to China ever.
