Hungary has simplified employment conditions for Ukrainians

From the beginning of May, citizens of Ukraine who have applied or have already received temporary protection in Hungary can apply for any job without obtaining a separate employment permit.

Ukrainians who have not received the status of temporary protection can be employed on the general grounds applicable to third-country nationals. These grounds include obtaining a separate work permit. Exceptions to the rule are only workers in professions where there is a shortage of staff - IT, catering, engineering and construction. It is not necessary to obtain a work permit in these areas. In addition, such employees must have a biometric passport. 

The Hungarian government also intends to support employers who hire Ukrainian refugees and provide them with long-term housing and transport. For each Ukrainian worker who arrived after the war, obtained temporary protection and worked for a Hungarian employer for at least 90 days, the latter will receive up to 60 thousand forints (160 euros) per month. If a Ukrainian employee has a child, the employer will receive another 12,000 forints (32 euros) per month.
