The Hungarian Minister of Finance announced on 7 August 2018
that the maximum number of third-country nationals who might be
employed in Hungary with work permit shall be 55,000. Last year the
limitation was 59,000, which means that the maximum number of
third-country nationals has been reduced with 4,000. The decision
may be surprising, since according to the statistics severe labour
shortage is experienced in key sectors and there is a need for the
employment of third-country nationals.
However, it must be noted that as of 2016, it is not required to
obtain a work permit for the employment of Ukrainian and Serbian
citizens in those professions where there are shortage of
workforce. Accordingly, the above specified limitation refers only
to the employment of third-country nationals with work permit,
therefore, the limitation is not applicable for Ukrainian and
Serbian citizens working in sectors hit by labour shortages.
The content of this article is intended to provide a general
guide to the subject matter. Specialist advice should be sought
about your specific circumstances.
