Hungary’s government under Peter Magyar is tightening rules for workers from non-EU countries. According to reports, the new prime minister aims to reduce the number of people from third countries working in Hungary. The measure was a key campaign promise of his party.

Magyar had announced during the election campaign that he would limit labor immigration from outside the European Union. He is now putting this plan into action. The government did not initially provide details on the specific design of the new regulations.
