📋 Stricter rules for the employment of guest workers in Hungary 📋

The government is to introduce new measures to tighten the employment of foreign guest workers. The new regulations aim to ensure the protection of the Hungarian labour market while reducing the social and economic risks arising from the rapid increase in the number of foreign workers. As part of the measures, authorisation procedures will be tightened and guest workers will have to meet higher integration requirements. Some in the sector welcome the new rules, while others have expressed concerns about the potential impact of the restrictions on labour shortages.

👉 How justified do you think the restrictions are? How might this change affect the labour market and businesses?

🛂 Soon we can say goodbye to passport stamping in the Schengen area!

On 10 November, the new Entry/Exit System (EES) will be launched, which will digitally register non-EU visitors. This means that manual stamping will be a thing of the past. If you like collecting passport stamps, you should take advantage of the time left!

The new system will make border crossings faster and help systematically identify overstayers. However, concerns have been raised about preparedness, so the transition may not be smooth.

What do you think about the EES system? 💬 Let us know!

✨How can a third-country national apply for a Hungarian Card? ✨

The Hungarian Card is available to third-country nationals who come to Hungary for various employment purposes. This could be employment, participation in a company, or even a managerial role. An additional condition is that the applicant must have a professional qualification as defined by the Minister responsible for higher education or be a professional sportsperson, coach, performer, or film industry professional.

📍 Where can I apply?

The application can be submitted abroad, at the Hungarian diplomatic mission, or in Hungary, provided that the applicant is allowed to enter the country without a visa. The application can also be submitted online via the Enter Hungary platform.

⏳ How long does it take to process?

It usually takes 21 days, but the determining authority will take a decision on the substance of the application within 70 days of the date of submission. The maximum validity of the authorisation is 3 years, which can be extended by the same amount of time.

📄 More information

When applying for a card, it is important to submit accurate documents and meet the deadlines, as failure to do so can lead to delays or even rejections. You can appeal against a negative decision, but you only have 8 days to do so.

🌍 Exciting News for Indian Travelers! 🛫

Great news for Indian nationals looking to explore Europe! 🎉 As of April 18, 2024, the European Commission has introduced new rules for Schengen visas, making travel to the Schengen area more convenient and accessible.

Under the newly adopted visa "cascade" regime, Indian citizens residing in India can now apply for multiple entry Schengen visas with extended validity. 📅 This means easier access to visas with longer durations for travelers with a proven travel history.

Here's how it works: After obtaining and lawfully using two visas within the previous three years, Indian nationals can qualify for a two-year multiple entry Schengen visa. ✈️ And if the passport has sufficient validity remaining, this two-year visa can be followed by a five-year visa! During the validity period of these visas, holders enjoy travel rights equivalent to visa-free nationals.

This decision reflects the strengthened relations between the EU and India under the EU-India Common Agenda on Migration and Mobility. 🤝 Facilitating people-to-people contacts is a key aspect of this agenda, recognizing India as a crucial partner for the EU.
For those unfamiliar, Schengen visas allow holders to travel freely within the Schengen area for short stays of up to 90 days within a 180-day period. It's important to note that these visas are not for work purposes but are perfect for tourism, business, or visiting friends and family.

The Schengen area comprises 29 European countries, including popular destinations like Hungary, France, Italy, Spain, and Germany, among others.

The new Relocation Act presents significant challenges for both workers and companies, particularly regarding family reunification.
Professionals, even high-level ones like CFOs, may find themselves unable to bring their families, impacting their decisions and potentially leading to offer refusals.
Seeking expert advice for alternative permits is one solution, but success isn't guaranteed.
Businesses face consequences like employee turnover due to the lack of work-life balance.
It's crucial for affected parties to receive proper assistance, and the government must consider both individual and business needs in shaping regulations.
