The EU has agreed to simplify employment rules in 2024

The EU is making revolutionary changes to the employment rules for third-country nationals, providing unique opportunities for tourists and residents. The preliminary agreement between Spain and the European Parliament opens up new prospects for those who dream of working and living in EU countries.

This agreement, aimed at simplifying procedures, will provide an opportunity for third-country nationals to submit simultaneous applications for a work permit and a residence permit. Bureaucratic barriers are being reduced, which makes the process accessible and attractive to international talent.

The new legislation will define the application procedure and establish common rights for workers from third countries. Now the EU countries will regulate the number and type of workers from third countries in their labor market, which provides more flexibility and opportunities to attract talent.

According to the agreement, the decision to issue a single permit must be made within three months after receiving the full application. This quick decision helps to attract foreign workers and creates favorable conditions for their employment in the EU countries.

Holders of a single permit will receive not only the right to work, but also the opportunity to freely choose an employer. This strengthens the position of third-country workers and provides them with more flexibility in their employment relationships.

It is important to note that these changes come in response to the need to update the current Single Permit Directive, which was adopted in 2011. The Skills and Talents package, the implementation of which was proposed in April 2022, is aimed at eliminating shortcomings in the legal migration system and attracting the necessary personnel to the EU.

This agreement opens up new horizons for tourists and residents, providing unique employment and living opportunities in EU countries. Simplifying processes and protecting workers' rights is an important step in creating a more equitable labor migration system.
