Hungary plans stricter regulations for hiring foreign workers. Employers must prove no local workers are available before recruiting foreigners, and applications may be denied for past labor violations.

The new rules ban private agencies from hiring non-EU workers, focusing instead on training local citizens. Guest workers must leave Hungary within six days if they lose their jobs.

The government capped foreign hires 65,000 for 2024, mainly from 15 countries, including Indonesia and Belarus. New immigration laws limit guest worker permits to three years, with no path to permanent residency or family reunification.
