The Decree which was published on 5 October envisages a comprehensive re-regulation of the residence and employment conditions of third-country nationals in Hungary.
The Government Decree prohibits the application of Act L of 2023 on guest workers during the period of the state of emergency. The Act otherwise lays down the conditions of residence and work of guest workers, i.e. third-country nationals from non-neighbouring countries, who come to Hungary for work purposes, as well as the rules for a single residence permit, which enters into force on 1 November 2023, but cannot be taken into account for the time being.
At the same time, the Government has also decided to propose new legislation on immigration and employment, which is expected to fundamentally change the rules applicable for third country national in the future.
If there is any progress in this area, we will of course inform you immediately.
