Galaxy Payroll Group Positions Itself as Solution to U.S. H-1B Visa Fee Challenges
Galaxy Payroll Group is offering specialized international workforce solutions to help companies navigate the financial impact of new U.S. H-1B visa policies that impose substantial fees on foreign hires.

The recent Presidential Proclamation instituting a substantial one-time fee of US$100,000 for new H-1B visa holders entering the United States has created significant uncertainty for employers navigating the global talent market. While the policy aims to incentivize domestic hiring, it accelerates the need for cost-effective and compliant international workforce solutions. Galaxy Payroll Group Limited, a leading global payroll provider in the Asia-Pacific region, is positioning its specialized suite of services to help companies adapt to these regulatory changes.
The new regulation significantly increases the cost and complexity of relocating international talent to the U.S., particularly affecting multinational corporations, small and medium-sized enterprises, and startups with limited budgets. In response, businesses are expected to seek alternative deployment models to maintain access to a global talent pool without incurring prohibitive expenses. This shift is driving demand for Employer of Record and international payroll outsourcing services, which allow companies to legally employ staff abroad without establishing a local entity.
Mr. Wai Hong Lao, Chief Executive Officer of Galaxy Payroll Group, stated that the policy has created challenges for employers and workers alike. The company's expertise in payroll outsourcing and employment services across Hong Kong, Taiwan, Macau, and Mainland China positions it to help companies navigate these changes and ensure full compliance with local regulations.

Galaxy Payroll Group has enhanced its service offerings by supporting payroll settlements in stablecoins, providing companies with a more efficient, transparent, and cost-effective solution for managing cross-border payroll, especially for remote employees. This innovative payment method helps reduce risks associated with currency fluctuations and streamlines international payroll processes. As companies build more distributed teams, the need for streamlined cross-border payroll management becomes critical, making integrated payroll technology a necessity.
The new policy presents challenges for companies of all sizes, from SMEs to large multinational corporations like Microsoft, which employ significant numbers of H-1B visa holders. Galaxy Payroll Group's comprehensive suite of services, including EOR, international payroll outsourcing, and stablecoin settlements, offers scalable solutions tailored to meet diverse business needs. Mr. Lao emphasized that their services support companies across the spectrum, enabling continued access to skilled professionals globally while maintaining competitiveness in the international talent market.
Galaxy Payroll Group remains committed to providing innovative and compliant solutions to support companies in their global talent management strategies. The company's ability to offer flexible workforce solutions comes at a critical time when businesses must adapt to changing immigration policies while maintaining operational efficiency and cost-effectiveness in their international hiring practices.
