Legislation amending the employment of third-country nationals
The Hungarian work permit changes in 2024 are reflected in the amendments to several laws, which fundamentally affect the employment of third-country nationals in Hungary. These include but are not limited to:
XC of 2023. Act on the general rules for the entry and residence of third-country nationals
The law tightens the employment of third-country nationals in Hungary, emphasizing that third-country nationals can only be employed under strict conditions.
