Hungary will stop issuing worker visas to citizens of three countries starting Friday, according to government officials. The move is part of the country’s efforts to tighten immigration controls and review its labor migration policies.
The decision comes as the Hungarian government continues to emphasize stricter border management and greater oversight of foreign workers entering the country. Authorities say the measure is intended to ensure that labor migration aligns with national economic and security interests.
Prime Minister Peter Magyar’s administration has signaled a tougher stance on migration since taking office, arguing that Hungary must prioritize its domestic workforce while carefully managing labor shortages in key sectors.
Officials have not yet provided full details on how the new restrictions will be implemented or whether exemptions will be available. Further information is expected from the government in the coming days.
